Excuse me for taking this space to brag a little about my family and excuse me for being a little long winded here (big shock). But today was my 6-year-old daughter's first day of T-Ball practice. This is her first forray into team sports. My daughter is very much a girlie girl. Sports have bored her, but she wanted to do T-Ball. So, with the weather just perfect for her first practice, we ventured out. Her coach asked for some parents to help with coaching. I jumped on that chance. Since I have a birth defect, I never had much of a chance to play sports, although I did have two years of little league (which was a thrill). So, I thought, I'd have a little father-daughter sports bonding time and share some knowledge with her other little team mates. Needless to say, I had a fantastic day with my daughter and her little team mates. We worked on fielding and hitting today. Proving that I'm not a very good coach, I struggled to teach the left handed hitter on her team the right way to swing, because it was the wrong way to swing for me. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this to any of dad's out there. It's a memory you'll cherish and look back on.

Thanks for letting me capture this in words. I hope you enjoyed hearing about it. If you're a parent, you'll really understand.
