I was spending some time on digg this morning looking over the ones that people seem to adore or what has been dugg. I came across this story on the opening page [link to digg]. The digg story links back to a Sports Illustrated article [link to SI].

You will want to take the time out to read the story. It is very interesting. You have a mother that is mad because they will not let her son play. You have other parents that will not let their children play with the boy pitching.

This kid can pitch at 40 mph. That is crazy. At 9 years of age, he has pitched 40 mph, and caused a team to forfeit a match when he took the mound. Talk about being feared.

They say that he needs to play with older kids and that he is to good for age group that he is in. That doesn’t mean that he will be able to run with those of a higher age group either. They really should let him pitch.

What are your thoughts on this. Would you let your children play against someone that was well above their skill level? Would you with draw your team from a match because someone has a better pitcher? If you were the parents of this child, would you try to keep him in the same age league, or would you move him up a league if they would take him? let me know your thoughts.

I thought that this might be fun. Gruntled had it posted up on his, and I thought that I would share mine.

Do you know what cake is? You may not, but I did before this weekend. I mean, I had heard talk of cake just really wasn’t sure what it would taste like. I’m talking about Pineapple Upside down cake. In a shot.

That is right. It is a drink. You shoot it. If you love Pineapple upside down cake you will love this shot. So I thought that I would share it here for other to make.

1 part Vanilla Vodka
2 parts pineapple juice - get the good shit, don’t skimp Dole or somehting
Shake in a mixer and poor though ice
Put a touch of grenadine on top for cherry flavor

There you have it. Pineapple upside down cake in a shot. You will not feel the first few, and they go down really smoothly. You may not get hooked, but you will have a good time at the next party.

This is what I was greeted with when I got to my friends house this weekend. We just hung out and played some games, and just relaxed. Feels like a time warp at times. Which is good because I don’t much have a use for time.

If you try out the drink above, please stop by and let me know how it was.

And then it will be gone. I know that a lot of people look forward to the weekend. I do for the most part but because of some of the hours I put in during the week, it is reserved for my rest time. I normally sleep in til about noon on Saturday and Sunday. Every now and then I just pass out cold on Saturday night and don’t really wake up until the sun has started going down.

This comes from just being a night person. I really don’t care for much daylight. All though, I do love the sunshine. I know it is strange. I just work better at night and it seems that I’m more productive sitting at home with the lights out and no one bothering me.

The weekend is here though and this weekend I’m headed down to a friends house in Macon. I have not been able to hang out with him much this summer. Gas prices have turned me back into a home body. You have to make sure that you can pay your bills. Fun and games will just have to wait til things get better. Either the economy or more money in the pockets.

I do have the opportunity to go and hang out with friends this weekend. I’m taking that opportunity even though I know that I should pay a little more on my car note or something else. Sometimes you just have to go and have a good time.

The wife? Well she is staying home on this one. I have a trusting relationship with the wife. Even more so we have not what people call open, but it is more of a freedom relationship. We allow each other to follow our own paths or dreams. It is great that we can walk down different roads of life and still love each other with out all of the bitching that could come along with it. The wife is great, she really is.

As for me, well I’m spending the weekend hanging out drinking and playing games for the most part. Hope that you are enjoying your weekend.
