Enjoy it while it lasts, seems like my sons first day of tball was yesterday. I can still remember the smelll of the fresh cut grrass. He graduates college next year.
I kind of thought it was fun. It wasn't over the top or anything, just somebody's blue tooth speaker playing like ten seconds of something. Someone had George Strait's The Fireman, another had the beginning of Still Dre, several country songs.Quote:

Probably had his first and last stint at catcher today. As a lefthander I don't think any coach past this level will put him there. Fun day, but it was good it was tball rules. The other team seemed a lot older than ours overall.
Five high school graduations with classes of over 500 each. Six LaTech graduations (#1 got two degrees). We are blessed and proud.
So glad I don't have to sit among the idiots who refuse to treat graduation as a ceremony for several more years.
Captive audience of over 20K at each quarter's graduation and we can't cultivate a small % of them into fans. That's mind blowing. Sadly that includes the graduates.
any of them do this?Quote:

IMO, only that the service should get better the longer you remain committed. To me, that's worth remaining committed, but I'll leave in a heartbeat if the service turns bad.Quote:

My lefty son played third base til he was 9, mostly because no one else could make the throw to first unless it was 30 feet in the air. So don't give up hope that he'll get to have fun in the "righty spots" for awhile.Quote:

In a small sense, the loyalty programs that give you a free product after every so many purchases do that. They don't keep getting cheaper, though.Quote:

And I won't throw away $500 a year for a minor convenience.
Same with streaming services now. It is so easy to turn those off and switch it makes no sense not to change.
