I had trouble sleeping on Tuesday evening, the dreaded man-cold hit me.  Not just a regular man-cold, this is the summer man-cold – an even worse variety.  It was slow coming on, I had a sore throat and partially lost … Continue reading →

Let’s just relax, on our new couch…

Posted on June 20, 2018 by kdarcy21

I umpired last night, that’s no surprise – I seem to umpire most nights.  That’s OK though, for the most part I enjoy it and the extra income is good too.  It was a pretty good game, weather was perfect … Continue reading →

Another Monday Already…

Posted on June 4, 2018 by kdarcy21
