Motivational Quote Monday, 6/14

Sometimes we all need a little inspiration in our lives. And while actions speak louder than words, words can be pretty important. So I thought that on Mondays I would share with you an inspirational or reflective quote that I really like. Maybe it'll give you a little needed motivation on a Monday, or a little reality check if you're in a difficult spot. What you do with it is up to you, but I don't randomly choose these.

USA vs England: A Look Back

Tomorrow I'll have Part II of Wedding Weekend, but today it's a recap of USA/England and some post game activities.

Even Coke cans have vuvuzelas.

Funny Quote Friday, 6/11

So it occurred to me after writing yesterday's post that today starts the World Cup. And when that ends, it'll essentially be training camp time for football. So baseball will be taking a back seat this summer.

So onto the funny quote to get you in the right mind set for the weekend. This one comes from the Myrtle Beach bachelor party. There are so many to choose from:

"It smells like Wilford Brimley in there."



Old man and oatmeal. A wonderful combination.

Thursday Wildcard: Ball Four

Kind of hard to "smoke 'em inside" with a knuckleball.

Introducing A Daily Feature

I was thinking of ways to write on here more (I'm currently in the middle of what feels like the fourth draft of Part II of the Wedding Weekend), get my thoughts out and share a little bit of me. So I thought I'd do a little daily feature on weekdays. Here's what I'm thinking:

Mondays - Post an inspirational quote to help me and you get your week started.
Tuesdays - Some kind of photo, whether it be funny, inspirational or just really well done. This may change.
Wednesdays - A song, or song lyric that means something to me or I just really want to share.
Thursdays - Wildcard. Whatever I'm in the mood for.
Friday - "Funny Quote Friday" - a funny quote from someone in my life (they'll be anonymous), to help set the mood for the weekend.

I hope you like it.

Wedding Weekend, Part I

This past weekend was the wedding of two of my closest friends. It was a great wedding and a great weekend. On every level, everything exceeded expectations. How's that for alliteration? This is part I of III of my weekend's experiences: Thursday.

Opening Weekend

Opening weekend wasn't the most eventful weekend, pretty much it was Saturday and that was it, but that's quite alright. This upcoming weekend will be epic, and I have two more major weekends planned for June. So a light weekend was welcomed...

The magic word and the winning chip.
