How I Got Here

Am I really writing a blog?  Is this even cool and hip anymore?  Was it ever really cool or hip?  Perhaps writing a blog makes us 30-something year old guys feel like we are cool.  It beats writing in a diary, though I suppose that is what this really is. 

I am currently reading a book about a youth baseball coach/parent and it made me decide that this would be a good way for me to keep track of things that have happened to me, or are happening to me.  His book is basically a collection of his "journal" writings that he has collected and published into a book. Since I too am a youth coach and a dad, why not give it a shot as well.  I'm not doing this for a future book deal (though if things came to that then great!).  I'm doing this for me, so that from time to time, I can reflect on my experiences as a dad and a coach and file them away from future reading or reflection.

A majority, if not all of these posts, will likely be discussing my experiences as a dad and a coach.  So if you stumble across this blog by accident and feel the need to read it, then this should give you a heads up as to what you can expect.  I'm a month or so away from starting up a new youth baseball season, so expect over the course of the next few weeks some posts about my previous experiences as both a high school coach, a youth coach, and a youth league director....
