Finally!!!! Time for Vacation

The countdown has begun. My vacation starts in a few hours and I am ready to go. Lisa and myself are going to take Lex and Jack and visit my Aunt Melba and Aunt Milly’s house off the Nanticoke River. You have no idea how excited I am for this trip. I believe I have hit the point where I am completely burned out. I have had scattered days off the last few weeks but I was not just sitting around and relaxing. We had a family reunion, I helped a friend move, weddings amongst other things. As of right now I am working at the Hampton Inn until 3pm. When 3pm comes I am picking up the family and enjoying 5 days of reading, fishing, crabbing, boating, playing with children and relaxing. So later today I am turning off my cell phone, and I am not going near a computer until we return late Friday night.

One of my favorite vacations I ever had was spending a month with my Aunt Melba and Aunt Milly at their house on the Eastern Shore. It was a ton of fun. We went boating, fishing crabbing. I remember the crabbing and fishing was so good you could spend the morning on the river and come back with bushels upon bushels of crabs. We made a home video of our time at the shore that summer… I was manning the camera and I clearly did not have a steady hand. Pray to whoever you pray to that if you are at my parents house and they find the video my mom does not make you watch it. The most vivid memory about that vacation is the few days that it rained. I remember walking outside and the water was up to my shins. We called it the great flood of ’88 – I think that was the year.

So the Baltimore Orioles have a new skipper and the Orioles seem like a different baseball team. So what if they are 32.5 games out of first place. I gave up on the Orioles going .500 about 40 losses ago. The new skipper, Buck Showalter, really seemed to inject some life, and hustle into the current crop of O’s. The team is still going to finish dead and get the top draft pick but maybe Buck will give the team hope for next year… That sounds like a quote that every Oriole fan gives at the end of every year.


Buck Showalter and Andy McPhail... Can they save the Orioles?

I have a few hours left today of work and then I am heading out the door and leaving. If you need to get in touch with me please do so before 4pm because I will be MIA until I return…. No facebook, no twitter, no myspace (ha who are we kidding – no one goes on there anymore) and no blog.

C-YA next Saturday!!!!! Until then enjoy this picture below.
