So we are playing softball again in the Provo City League. I guess it's summer, or fall league, I don't know. I jacked my knee up in June rounding 3rd base and it is giving me crap. I can run, but any lateral movement really hurts. That's why I am playing catcher! My brother, Carl, is playing with us, too. It's a long way from the Youth Softball days back in California. Our church team was awesome for a few seasons, going undefeated in Stake play then having one of the most exciting games of my life against the hated Saratoga 2nd Ward to win the Region. Carl always pitched for us, but he is playing 1st base now. I think the funniest part of the whole deal is our fans! We have a great group who come out to cheer and support us. (Though it is weird to have people yelling "Go Bishop!" from the stands) We won our 1st game last week, in fact we 10 runned them and the game ended after 5 innings. So, we'll see how we do. Coach Grover is loving his new role and I'm sure is up late at night working on line-ups and position changes.

Chantel and Chelsea both have copies of the latest Twilight book. Chantel went to the party at Barnes & Noble, only to run to Walmart to buy her copy at midnight (she figures being #702 she would have been there for quite a while waiting). I took Chelsea over to Costco this morning to get her copy. Chantel took hers to work, much to her mother's chagrin, so she could read on break. Teresa is trying to get Chelsea to take breaks so she can read her copy. I have never wanted to read them, just like I have no desire to read Harry Potter. 

Let me ask you if this qualifies m

e as a dork- Our back yard is pretty big and mowing it is kind of a long, crappy experience that must be endured each week. After mowing the front and side yards, I run with the lawn mower in the back, just to make it go faster. So what used to take 30 minutes is now about 12 minutes. Am I really that much of an idiot?

Another disappointing season from the Giants. I don't like the Dodgers or Manny Ramirez, and now that they are hooked up, I don't like them both that much more. I hope the Devil Rays can pull it out because I am tired of the Red Sox and the ever hated Yankees. I would love to see the Cubs finally win, but who are we kidding.

Well, the Wakefields got us eating snowcones from the place right by the SCERA pool. Geeze, as if I don't already struggle

 trying to eat right, now I want the Tiger's Blood snowcones with the ice cream at the bottom all the time. Man they are tasty. I did make a coconut cake last week that was pretty yummy. But I took the remaining few pieces to work so I wouldn't eat it. Mary did. 

That's an old picture I painted, I think back in 1998. No reason for it, just thought I'd throw it on.
