It’s been a while….

It’s been a while since I last posted something.  I think I benched myself.  Is that possible?  Nonetheless it would appear that I have a little extra time this morning so here’s the Coles notes on what I’ve been up to recently.

1. Went to Boston with the First Lady of Sport to celebrate 1 whole year of marriage.  We went with our relationship caddies/spiritual advisers, Pat “How’s your view?” Sweeney and Sarah “Can I have some of yours?” Gaade.  The trip was fantastic.  Highlighted by catching a game at Fenway and weaseling our way into Game 7 between Atlanta and the Celtics.  There were many a highlight on this trip and I’ll hit you all with some of the stories in subsequent blog entries later on.
2. Getting ready for fatherhood.  The First Lady is a trooper and Baby Siemens is on it’s way.  That didn’t stop The First Lady from getting in a round of golf before me this season though.  By all reports Baby Siemens can mash the ball but apparently has the yipps on the greens.
3. I’ve been following an anemic Blue Jays offense.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  This team can’t hit.  I wonder if they will fire yet another hitting coach?  Former batting coach Mickey Brantley must be smiliing somewhere.
4. Getting many chuckles from the emails that I’ve received here at straightfromthearse.  I think I might even have to do a mailbag post. 
5. I’m gearing up for the last 6 weeks of school.  The kids are all hopped up on freezies and sunshine and their teacher is dreaming of long fairways and groomed greens. 
6. I’ve been slacking off on updating the blog.  I’ll do better I promise.
