I can definitely relate my friend.A trip to Scotland must’ve been fun! I wonder why your school holidays over there are earlier than ours? I think ours are in March. Trust me when I tell you that you haven’t missed much here. Just losing your crown on the Last Post thread. I think I too lost it since then but have since regained it. I don’t know, I lost track. I made sure of that! I figured if that happened then you would’ve returned under a Lash-Out and I was really trying to avoid that. Trying to keep you calm for now. I’m okay with them. I’ve been stung a couple of times over the years but they don’t bother me. I do know people that will totally freak out if they see one though. I guess it all depends on past experiences. You kind of get used to them living down here. Usually they’re petrified of us more than we are of them so if one gets in I’ll just chase them til they go back out. No, it’s not easy. I was never good with that for many years. Only in recent years have I been able to share that kind of pain. I guess it depends on the type of pain. Some kinds are easy to share and some aren’t. Truth be told I come from a long line of baseball players. I wasn’t even the best player in my family. My grandfather played when he was younger and I lived with him growing up so he was a huge influence. My cousin, who was way better than me, played and he kind of got me started. None of us made it to the pros obviously, but those two pushed me hardest cause they thought I had the best chance, and it didn’t take a lot of convincing at that point cause I fell in love with the sport at such a young age. Then when I was 21, and not playing anymore, I met my dad for the first time. And this was at the time I had kind of soured on the sport a little (a lot).  But he was the biggest fan I had ever seen, which my mom had warned me about, and that went a long way in bringing me back to the game. Yes he is, thank you! Well, Uncle DFF was unfortunately a huge influence LOL!! I quite often get the blame for his choice in going into sports for a career but to his credit he never gives me up when he’s asked who was his biggest influence. Thank you for saying this Lashes! This definitely made me smile. Forgiveness is important in life. It’s highly underrated as life is way too short. I’m afraid I did as well. I’m amazed now when I see kids running around all day and not getting tired. It seems like a lifetime ago that we could do that, doesn’t it? My (brief) comeback a few months ago taught me one thing. I’m done. I realized that my heart just isn’t into it anymore. I’m hoping that was my last time on a field to be honest. (I give it til Spring til I’m back out there) I love this idea! One thing I can say, he will not be bored with the scripts. That job is like a movie every day. I almost changed my avatar to a picture of a worm just to freak you out but I can’t do that to you Lashes. How do I feel about them? Well, they really don’t bother me but I often mistake them for a baby snake and get a little jumpy. No, I’m not into those “reptile terrorizing humanity” movies. I had two meetings with snakes while delivering this week. One didn’t bother me so much cause he was very tiny but the other one put things in perspective. My heart might still be sitting in the middle of that driveway to be honest. I should go check. I’m glad to hear your winter hasn’t been too bad this year! If our winter is any indication of what our summer will be like then I’m assuming we’re going to fry this year. If there’s unusual weather going on in Florida right now, I’d love to know where, cause here we’re boiling already. Our winter was an absolute joke. I’d say it lasted less than a week total. I’m guessing it’s cooler in the northern part of the state right now perhaps but it sure never makes it down here LOLIt’s good to have you back my friend! You’re always missed when you’re not here but I know how hectic it gets. We all have a zillion things to do and unfortunately life takes us away sometimes. Don’t ever apologize for that! I hope you’re having a nice weekend and the same goes for everyone else reading this!</blockquote>
