Hi guys. My last post was entitled "Camp 180" and this post is number 280! Are you guys proud of me? I shutter to think if I had ran 280 days or worked out 280 days out of the past year what I would look like. Well, lets not go there. I was the main character in a video commercial we showed our church yesterday to kick off our Summer Wednesday Nights Bible Olympics. In the commercial I wore workout clothes and a headband. Someone came up to me afterwards and said, “I thought I was watching Rocky.” My response was, “If that was Rocky then Rocky needs to lose weight!” Makes me want to say, “Yo Adrian.”

Switching to baseball, I haven’t said much about Steven lately. I wanted to give you an update. He is playing in a “Stan Musial Baseball.” When I told someone at church that they responded by saying, “I didn’t know Steven was in to acting in musicals?” That’s “Musial,” not “musical.”

Any way, this league is a wood bat league for you baseball purists out there. He is probably the youngest player in the league since most of the players are Junior College, College, and “older players.” Steven pitched against our next door neighbor’s team last weekend which includes our next door neighbor’s son who played for Seminole Community College this past season. Steven came out in the 5th inning with a 4 to 3 (2 unearned runs) lead and 6 strikeouts. He also collected several hits and he closed out a game yesterday throwing the last 3 innings. This has been a big boost to his confidence which was somewhat shaken by our last coach who is no longer with us.

Enough about Steven – I’m going to end with some week end pics and a last set of camp pics. The 3 Amigos of our Camp: from left to right me, Pat, and Steve aka “The Puckster.”
