What is on my mind for Wednesday...

Choose to see the positive possibilities, and you will. Choose to follow those possibilities, and success takes root. You can make your life a triumph in spite of every adversity. Or you could make your life a mess in spite of every advantage. Success does not depend on where you start. If it did, no one would have ever been successful. Success comes from what you choose to do with whatever you have. It is fully available to anyone who decides to make the effort and the commitment.
- Ralph Marston


1. How fabulous did Tim Wakefield look last night? His pitches were on spot, hot. I’ve got to be honest, I don’t typically love watching the games he pitches – his style sometimes is boring, and of course – though he’s been really good this season, to me it’s always the possibility for an “iffy” game. Not last night. He was in command….

2. My knee has been really bothering me lately. It’s funny, I refer to my knee but it’s truly my quad. I have been quite remiss in going to yoga or running and whatever quad strength I built up has diminished. I need to be more consistent; it’s really my lower portion of my quad that’s bugging me, but it’s radiates towards my knee. I’m sure the damp weather hasn’t helped any so the lack of rain for the past 24 hours has been fantastic. I’m going to be quite sad to see the sun disappear as the weather forecasters keep threatening is going to happen. Of course, exercise is fabulous for stress as well – and that’s another reason why I should get back into the groove. (Well, that and also the fact that I am supposed to be running a 5k on the 4th of July….)

3. It’s a busy week! Today, I’m meeting my girlfriend Susan for lunch; tonight we’re going for dinner with some friends of ours to socialize- but also discuss scheduling for the store because one of them may be working there as a core employee. Tomorrow, I’ve got to take the kids after work to get their Father’s Day gifts for G…Friday, I’m meeting a girlfriend from high school for coffee/lunch at the ‘Bucks – I haven’t seen her outside of running into her at a Kids Playground in years, and we’ve got a lot of things in common going on right now, so we thought it would be a good time to catch up; so I’m looking forward to that. Saturday – if the weather forecasters are wrong then the kiddies and I are going Strawberry picking! And then of course, Sunday is Father’s Day which is not up to me. Next week is even more hectic but I don’t want to think about it right now.

4. Dear God, I need a Blackberry! July can’t come soon enough – that’s when I’m eligible to change my phone. I have got to take a serious look and compare the Blackberry to the new LG phones; I think the biggest benefit to the Blackberry is calendaring – however, if the battery life isn’t good – that can be an issue.

Anyone have thoughts, insight, suggestions – please feel free to share!

It WAS. Totally the break we needed! We should try again next week too if the schedules don't collide... outdoor seating is always a good thing!

I would rather watch Wakey than Matsuzaka any day. Even Shakey Wakey doesn't stress me out as much as nibble...nibble...wild pitch...walk...nibble...homer.

Jenn -- that is good to know. I'm torn between a PDA and a BB. The Diamond looks fantastic, but I don't know the difference between the two. Do you love your Crackberry?

Dawn, Amen Sistah. I've never been a Dice K fan, not since the first day I saw him pitch. He had a lucky, lucky season last year.

Aw, Wake is my hero! Anyone with balls enough to throw 65 mph pitches in MLB is A MAN. Plus, he's 43 years old, and I think he'll be pitching until he's 50. Love knuckleballers!
