Howdy

I took the day off from the blog on Monday. Sometimes, I just don't have anything interesting to say. It was an eventful weekend, but there were no real blog material moments to speak of.

Sunday, I tweaked my back playing softball. Since that time, I've had a steady stream of Motrin flowing through my veins. Yesterday, I walked around like I had a crowbar shoved up some unspeakable place. Today, it's much better, and my walking style features a little bounce, not unlike a Muppet. Tomorrow, I hope to have my full saunter back.

We've purchased the paint needed for the nursery. Green on top, light blue wallpaper border about 3 feet off the floor, and light yellow below the border. Over the green walls, we'll paint the Seuss characters. In planning this ambitious room, I feel I've bitten off a bit more than I can comfortably chew, but I will press forward because I want the boy to be impressed with it, and I want his baby friends to be jealous of how much his parents rock.

I'm also pleased to announce that my grandmother has sent the Undaling his first Cubs hat. It was shipped directly from Chicago so that insures that it's properly cursed. Soon, we will suffer through the long baseball summers together and maybe he'll be blogging when he's 35 years old about how it's been 133 years since they won the World Series.

For those of you paying attention, WVU is preseason number one according to both Bruce Feldman and Pat Forde of ESPN. Yes, friends, this could be the year. Last year was spectacular, but we're on the verge of something even better. Get ready for more fun beginning September 2nd against (cough) Marshall.
