My PRBL Posse (Belated)

I was not able to write my daily post for the 94th day of 2019 on the actual day (4/4/19).  Why? you ask.  Because, after working all day, I and the 10 other owners of the Penn Rotisserie Baseball League conducted our yearly draft that went well into the night and the wee hours (1, 2, 3AM) of the morning.  The PRBL started 30 years ago and we still have owners, myself included, from the inaugural season.  I am happy that it has lasted so long (not happy that the draft lasted so long) and I hope that, in future years, we can find one DAY (day, day day) in our busy schedules to get together and complete it at a more humane hour.  College days have drifted into beginning adulthood and now parenthood and deep responsibilities.  Maybe in the near future, we'll be retired and scheduling will be easier.  but, for today (retroactively posting for last night), I have immense gratitude for my PRBL Posse.  The other guys who "own" the teams and whose jokes and witty (and even no so witty) banter I appreciate (usually after the fact, not in the moment).  Here's to a great season.

My caring prayer for last night is for my fellow owners in the PRBL.  None of us got enough sleep last night so a prayer that we make it through our Fridays and can find some downtime to recharge this weekend.

My disagreement prayer for 4/4 is for people who are rude in checkout lines.  Rude to the workers, rude to those of us stuck behind them, and even rude to the family/friends shopping with them.  May they take the time to take a deep breath, relax, determine what is really important, and be calmer and polite.

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
