Goin' Mobile

Or, going to Mobile, rather, as in Mobile, AL, for the Huntsville International Red 9- and 10-year old All-Stars playing in the State Little League Tournament. I'll be leaving (and believing!!!) Friday morning when we head down to Mobile for my son's, Carson's, and his team's (pictured to the right) double-elimination tournament. Their first game is set for Saturday at 5:30 p.m. It's been a loooooooooong baseball season, but all kinds of fun. I'm very happy for our stellar Mayfair Park for having a team win the Huntsville tournament, and it'd be nice to cap it off with a good showing at State.

Carson's been pumped about baseball this year, and just when I thought it might be lasting too long, now he's saying he wants to skip football and play baseball in the Fall or play travel ball. Not sure what to think about that yet. Digressing...

Wish us all kinds of luck and good fortun... errrrrrrrrr... I can't lie. Wish us all kinds of winning!!! That's what we really want. Actually, it's been a great experience for the boys and one they'll remember and cherish a long time, hopefully, the rest of their lives. Carson's played on losing teams before, but last year his team won their league, and this year his team (a different one) did it again and went undefeated. Now, his All-Star team has won all their games, so it's been a while since he's taken in that awful, bitter taste of defeat. Can it be a while longer? Let's hope so. The more we win, the longer I miss work! And I know Carson wants to win, big time.

But just so everyone has fun. Right?

GO BIG RED!!!

Side Note: I'm not sure whether I'll have a computer or not, so we'll see what Ken comes up with while I'm gone. Could get interesting around here. But maybe I'll get a post or two in... and leave one in the can that Ken can publish when the time's right. Maybe I'll go all Nostradamus and throw down a quatraint predicting that the stock market will hover around 8,000 next week. Yeah, I'm that good.
