Cubby fever

I just want to entire world to know that it is the month of JUNE and the Chicago Cubs have the best record in the majors. The last time this happened was 1908. The same year they last won the world series. I'm telling you guys, its their year. I'm serious this time. As a hardcore Cubs fan, I can't express how happy I am the cubs are playing this well. Probably happier than the day I graduated. Now that i think about it, there is no happier moment than the cubs being in first in June. I guess being the first in October will be an even better occasion.

Here's the news that bothered me for a while. Lindsey and I are going on a cruise in October for a week. That's prime time baseball playoff time. I almost had to reschedule the cruise but luckily for everyone envolved, the cruise ship has a theatre with 9 big screeens and all the major channels. So Go Cubs, keep up the amazing work that everybody in the world, baseball fan or not, should give you a congrats for.

Work, Softball, and my continuous man crush on golf!!

That's my life right now! An 8-5 job that gets more boring by the minute. The wake up time alone makes me wonder why I purged myself to this "grown-up" life. A weekly softball league where I pretend our game is the feature story on sportscenter. If only we had one viewer on the sidelines. And Golf, a sport that I all of a sudden became obsessed with. I play each round as if its Sunday at the Masters. (Counseling is too expensive so deal with it)!!

All other time is spent relaxing and with Lindsey, since Nick left for the summer to Sierra Vista. To those who dont know Sierra Vista. Its Mexico, but in Arizona. Their high school has jr high talent in sports and if i remember correctly, they just got their first night club. They are pretty much what Tucson was in 1900 or Phoenix in 1850!! Hopefully that explains it.

My job is boring...but it pays well so i can't really complain that much. I also feel like I am understanding it much better than i thought. In fact, the two that sit beside me actually ask me questions. Of course I answer them as if I know what I am talking about and then silently pray that isn't a question on the test.

The job makes softball my two hour vacation every week. Doing pretty good at this so far. In four games, Luckily, I have only gotten out twice and managed two home run(inside the park of course). I feel like the cubs. Lets hope i dont cool down diamondback style.

As for golf, it has a soft place in my heart. As i have stated before, my game is a collection of horrific shots overlooked by the occasional miracle! But there's good news. Lance(Lindsey's dad) gave me his remaining four hours of golf lessons!!!!! I can't wait to have a real golfer correct everything about my swing for the better. Its like Christmas for a five year old. Hopefully these lessons put me in a respectable state. We can only hope!
