We here waiting for you Earl!
Wife kids and I went down to Fort Phoenix and walked the Hurricane Barrier.  It was nice, a little windy not bad, but no action yet.  Might go back tomorrow before the storm hits.  I am actually more concerned with the 3 – 6 inches of rain more than the 85MPH winds.  And they issued a Hurricane about 3 hours ago, and kids school is closing early.  I just hope it cools off. It was interesting to watch all the Fishing Fleet coming home too, I have never seen so many fishing boats coming into the harbor at once, and all the boats that tied up behind the barrier and that island out there.

Your gonna get some mad people at you for this one.

Hey we were in the local paper today!

The Weather
So we are in the middle of a 4 – 5 day 90+ degree heatwave.  It was hotter today, than most of the summer.  Central Air has been on since Monday and even now, at 9:30PM it is still 80.  Earl is coming close Saturday, and temps are supposed to drop!  That will be very nice.

Finally
Now they can go back to blowing each other up.

Right now they are only forcasting wind and rain for Friday, but you may notice, Earl’s projected path moved West about 50 miles from yesterday.

Anyone who cares?  Team photo will be in the sports section of The Standard Times tomorrow.

There is a new Monster Millikin, I hope you all enjoy Bees armed with chainsaws.

So what did we learn from UFC 118?
Old boxers can’t hold a candle vs. old Mixed Martial Artists, Frankie Edgar is for real, Kenny Florian isn’t (which disappoints Malach), but Gray Maynard vs. Edgar could be a lotta fun.

So  . .
We haven’t had a real Hurricane round here in about 20 years.  Well looks like Earl might be taking a shot at us for Friday.  Right now his most extreme Westerly projection would land him right over my house.  You know I will have pics.  This house was built in 1900, so it has survived some really bad ones, especially before they built the Hurricane Barrier.  I am about 2 1/2 miles north of that puppy.  There will be pics from there too.

Oh Paris . .
You were doing so well staying out of the limelight . . I thought you had turned over a new leaf . . . Cocaine? Seriously Girlfriend?  What is is like 1978?

Geek Mid Day
So my brother, myself, and a friend got together for some Arkham Horror.  We were doing really well, but the game turned, Shub Niggurath awoke, and devoured us.

LOST
So they are jaunting around the island in different time frames, we meet a young Rousseau, and find out Jin is actually not dead.  AWESOME!

Hello Walls
So, I am done stripping wall paper, and have started patching, sheetrocking, and skimcoating.  I hope to be finished by the weekend, so we can start painting.  The Wall Paper wasn’t too bad, with a little elbow grease.  The wall underneath . . . that’s another story.  I have sheetrocked the big holes, and the missing panels, and now it is plaster time.  After that, I will remount the molding, probably have to do some touch up plastering and such.   Softball season is over, so this gives me some time at night to finish up.  Again, I hope to be finished Friday, and then start painting; still haven’t chosen colors.

The Westboro Baptist Church
Unfortunately, they are protected by the constitution and can do stuff like this.  Just as Muslim and protected to build places of worship, that is another rant.  Unfortunately, assault them isn’t the way.  Don’t take them seriously.  Counter protest them like this:

Or my personal favorite:

So take it from Malach, this is much more fun and makes you a internet hero.  In addition, you won’t get arrested.  Another good one is to make on of the those Bible Verse signs, you know the John 3:16 ones.  Quote a nonsensical verse, and then hold you sign up next to them.  Example?  ”Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house” and then write “Job 1:13″.  You will thank Malach when they come to your town.

T-Shirt Friday?
Yeah, I know it T-Shirt Firday again, but guess what.  The camera is missing again.  The SD card is around, but not the camera, which makes me think on of the kids has it . . I will try and find it and get a pic up.

AHHH, now we have it . .

More KMP Stuff
So, I spoke to a number of people and they were shocked at how “easily” we won the title.  Here was our strategy.  I pitched the same pitch over and over again.  A curve ball that starts way inside and breaks over the plate for a strike.  The Bull Dogs only have right handed hitters, so I would throw a meatball right down the middle for the first strike, then I would throw the same pitch just varying it’s depth, and left and right.  Had them guessing all series long.  Of course I had a AMAZING defense.  I leave you with some pictures, the first one is Malach, looking like he is telepathically trying to land a strike.

And here we go with team photo after the game:

Malach is in the back row all the way to the right.  Dan in the front row 2nd in is our Coach/Equipment Manager/Cheerleader/Mascot/Umpire Cusser-outer.  Dan has Down Syndrome.  He is the brother to one of our players, I have known his since he was 12.  He is 24 now.  Meaghan on the end is our scorekeeper and good luck charm.  Every game she came to we won.  Wasn’t present for any loss, and missed the first game of the playoffs which we almost lost, so we forced her to come to the rest of them rain or shine.

And we have some Champagne spraying at the end of the game:

And of course some after game partying at my house, so we wouldn’t get arrested, and I did apologize to my neighbors for these loud drunken fools.

And yes, we are burning some baseball bats in that fire, the beauty of playing with wood!  If you want to see more photos, I believe you can see them here, at our facebook page.

LOST
OK, I can see why the started losing rating in the final two season.  The time shifts, the new characters, the open mystical nature; I am sure it became hard to follow for non geeks.  I love it personally.  I love the little jaunt to 1954.  I also love the way the continue to kill off annoying bit characters . . .

We Are The Champions from Queen, because . . .

WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
That right, we won tonight, and won the league championship.  We played awesome.  Pitched another shut out (6 total for the year, 3 in the playoffs) and our defense was amazingly stellar.  After the pics come out I will post some.  We had blast, sprayed champagne, and I even had a few beers after 4 years of not touching alchohol.

The most amazing part is everyone played well, and everyone made a big play in at least one game in every playoff game.  As the Patriots have showed over the years, that is how you win.  Even more amazing?  We dominated the championship against a pretty good team.  Two shutouts, and giving up only 3 runs, only one of them earned.

Never having won a championship beyond Special Olympics, this is nice.  I can see why people go cuckoo when winning them.  Everyone just left my house, so we wouldn’t get arrested at a public park.

So, now our goal is to win two in a row . . .

As a little aside, it has always fascinated me that this song is the theme for a lot of winning sports teams.  Freddy Mercury was so flamboyantly gay . .

I also felt a lot better today, still a little chest cold, but fever was gone . .

Where was your blog last night?
I woke up yesterday morning with a chest cold, not sure why I got one in August.  After my game last night, I came home, and had fever, so I went to bed at 7:30PM and did not wake up fully until 10AM.  Woke up this morning around 5AM with the fever still and the plugged up nostrils and such, and called in sick to work, first time I have done that for me in like 5 years.  I feel a bit better now, still a bit achy and stuffed up.  Not sure what is going on there.

KMP Softball Update
One game away from winning the championship.  Even though I was sick, I still played, in 60 degree rainy weather.  We ended up beating the Bull Dogs 7 – 3.  One more game and we sweep the 5 game series, and win the championship.  The key has been our defense and pitching.   I have been slamming them inside both games, and they are having trouble hitting my inside curveball.  Our defence has been stellar.  To hold down a team like the Bulldogs to 3 runs in two games is pretty amazing.  Game tomorrow, hopefully we clinch.   We will be missing our best player for that game, but we are determined to win it.

Wow
There is gotta be some Polish joke in here somewhere
