it is wednesday night in montgomery and we won after 2 losses. i have never been around these guys when the have lost 2 in a row. it was hard. as far as a road trip goes, it is a success so far. their record is 5-3 and we have 2 games to go. even if we lose the next 2 games and go home 5-5 it is still a good road trip. i don't think we will lose the next 2.
montgomery is a beautiful area. the homes in the downtown area are beautiful. the "first white house of the confederacy" is magnificent as well as the state capital building. i am going to find out how to add photos to this blog so you can see some of what i write about. the moss growing in the trees still amazes me but late at night is kinda spooky. for those of you who are history buffs this place is one to see. interesting contrast and similarities with washington. down here they still wave the confederate, or rebel flag. no comments either way from me although it is still a part of our history and heritage. admire it for what it is. i don't see the hate associated it as some seem to claim. but, then again, i am not african-american either.
this sunday is mother's day. i am thankful mine is still living. she is 82 years old. she is independant, lives alone, still drives and does not take medicine like other "seniors" do. i wish i could be with her but my schedule will not permit it. i am planning a trip to see her the last week of this month and will stay for a week. we have a 5 game series in the town she lives in and my 9 year old is going to go with me. it will be a great trip and i am looking forward to it. anytime i can see my mom, baseball, and have some of my kids with me is high on my list of having a good time.
until next time...
