Being a real estate agent, Spring has an especially positive bearing on one's attitude. Its a popular time for people to look for new homes and otherwise adjust to their life style changes and good for my business. Its the season of beginnings and among those beginnings is the prelude to summer sports for the youngsters. Now in my family, its a particularly interesting time. You see, My son Christopher and his wife Danielle, early on, apparently had the idea of creating their own baseball team but had second thoughts almost half way to their goal. However the abandoned plan did result in four wonderful boys now aged 7 to 13. So anyway, now comes Spring, perfect: and just in time to provide an outlet for the boys and all the pent up energy accumulated during this past long winter. Alas, here lies the problem. the local organized sports programs are invariably scheduled to the different ages and activities of the boys, which naturally results in different activities in different locations often at the same time. If my math serves me right; 2 parents divided by 4 boys equals: not enough time. If they finished the job they would have had a full team that could have practiced together and challenged another team for a game, whereby everybody could have gotten together at the same time and place, avoiding all this scheduling nonsense. Anyway, Plan B; Look up cajole, recruit, enlist and shanghai and invite Nana to dinner. I'm sure you get the picture. But to be perfectly honest I can't think of a more enjoyable assignment and a better way to start the Spring.... PLAY BALL!
