You guys are the greatest. Thanks for the kind wishes.
It's actually my 39th birthday and I get two presents for my birthday this year.
Got the first one last night. My 10-year-old future FBI/CIA agent, Matt, is playing little league for the first time this year. Last night was the season opener and they put him on the mound for three innings. He recorded six strikeouts and he also taught a kid a lesson about crowding the plate by pegging the living shit out of him in the back. I was so proud of him!
They ended up winning 8-7: Not bad for a team that is a bunch of first-year players that the rest of the league had already written off as a floormat team.
Second gift comes Friday...
A Cajun's first time in greater Los Angeles with a bunch of great West Coast HFC'ers. When we're on the pier letting me experience my first Pacific Ocean sunset, we'll hoist brews in THE HFC FAMILY'S honor!
