Submitted by sadeto on
Women's softball going to the CWS, and the weekend we honor those who paid the ultimate price for us. Raising a glass of 2011 Four Graces Willamette Valley Pinot noir to all. You?

That seems really strange to me, but hey if you are going to be insanely (and I mean that in a literal sense) passionate about something, I guess you could pick worse things than Michigan athletics. lol

Just opened the cottage tonight. 4 hours on the road. Lake beer in hand and working in the garage tonight.

Boat goes in tomorrow. Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone. And, of course, Go Blue!

Willamette Valley wine is underrated. I was just at Four Graces last month.



Enjoying a Uinta Baba Black Lager in honor of the M ladies' and Tigers' victories tonight.

and the last hour covering them up or moving them into the garage due to frost warnings.

Congratulations to the softball team. Go Blue.

Thinking of all the men and women that have served our country, past and present. Thank you, soldiers.

did a write up on the Supers and I am doing a World Series write up.  There are a few of us who follow M SB from the start of Fall Ball in October all the way to the WS in June.

Speaking of softball, my daughter's team just won their first game of the season, 18 - 10. They maybe won three games last season, so this was a great way to start!

She got MVP of the game, so she's happy. She's the catcher, and had a few nice throwdowns, but didn't get anybody out. The whole team played much more aggressively than last year, and were hitting the crap out of the ball. A good job by all.

Xtra. Needs to be above 50.
I'll paint the deck in the afternoon. I'm going fishing in the Boardman 0 dark 30.

Remembering my brothers in arms who gave their lives so I have freedom to do all these things. Their futures that would never be. I honor them.
