I got this little gem in my google alerts today.  A fan was watching the Arizona Fall League and got to see my David Bell in action.

 

( David...the manager )

This goes out to my good friend high_striker   (don't know what's wrong with your name here, but anyowho.


( Pretty  )

Ok, most, if not all, of you know about my George Eads obsession.  But, there's another obsession of mine who I totally neglected these last two days.

I'm a tad bit obsessed with baseball.  I love the game, the smells of the park, the players...etc.  Well my all time favorite player (former player because he broke his back in 2003) is managing the Peoria Saguaros and I totally missed the first two games...and they lost.

So, here's my livejournal shout out to the 2009 Saguaros managed by the one and only David Bell!

( The Pretty Under the Cut )

Yup, I went yesterday! They had it all summer in Portland and I finally made it down there.

I thought it was pretty cool, but I also had the feeling that die-hards would get the most from it.

You walk in to a briefing by Grissom. Yeah, there is some chatting by Zuiker talking about it and such. You are given one of three crime scenes and off you go. After analyzing the scene you go to various labs to find out what happened. There are videos of the stars and actual CSIs in the labs. Everybody else was zooming through, but me being obsessed with CSI took the time to watch each and every one.

Once you figure it all out, you go into Grissom's office and give him the report. This is all done on computer screens. He then runs the crime for you.

We went through three times to do all three crime scenes.

Yeah, I did embarrass my kids a time or two by saying that Nicky was my honey and such.    I only did it during his video and his pictures.

If any of you get a chance, I recommend going.

Ok, I know most people in other parts of the country wouldn't think twice about it getting into the 100s, but we don't have air conditioning here.  My house is sitting at 115 degrees and it's almost 7 at night right now.  Last night it cooled off all the way to 80 degrees in here, and that felt goooooood.  So cool!

They are saying now that we'll be getting thunderstorms next.  Great.  They raised our water prices so much this year that nobody is watering their lawns.  Yikes! 

Now for great news.  I took the kids to Cruefest the other night and danced all through Motley Crue.  Yippeeeeeee!  Yeah, my ankle was asking me what my deal was, but I told it to cool it and deal.  I guess it's mind over bionic ankle at this point.

I think I'm going to go wet down my clothes again.  I can't jump in the pool though because the neighbor kids are all in there right now.

Just a quick rant.  I was listening to the Carolina Mudcats broadcast on the minor league website and they cut off the David Bell interview for Dr. Laura.  Really?  I need this?  This is the first time in two years I got a chance to listen to a David interview, but now I'm listening about how me working is killing my kids. 

It's that wonderful time of year again...

I was tagged by high_striker .  But, being the rule breaker that I can be I'm not tagging anybody, because most of my buddies have been tagged already.

( onto the questions )

It's been quite a while since I've done a personal post.  I really hope I don't come across as lame as one of those Christmas news letters.

( My life )

I thought I would give you some Texan hospitality for your birthday.
