Hectic 24 hours. Mom came to visit from Florida and we had to admit her to the hospital on Tuesday. She's going to be ok though.

Squeezed in an easy 8 with some striders and core stuff.

Andy had his first baseball game this afternoon. 2 for 2 with 2 triples at the plate and made a nice put out at 1st base. He's excited. I fear for his running potential though. Walking to the car he said he'd rather hit singles because running from home to third base without stopping is really tiring.

Hospital? Glad to hear she'll be ok.

Glad your mom is ok.

Hope your mom is ok.

Nice hitting by Andy. If he can figure out how to hit the ball a little farther then he could take his time rounding the bases. That would also result in a more lucrative career than running.

Sorry to hear about your mom - glad to hear she's ok.

Rob, glad to hear your mom is doing good. Hope your time together is better for the rest of her stay.

Sounds like your rounding into shape now for a good summer racing season.
