The joys of home and family

Being at Manchester is usually a blast, there are very few times when I really want to go home. However, I have been having the urge to go home for about a week now. Luckily today I got that chance. We played at taylor today and split with them. We won the first 4-2 and lost the second 2-1 on a last inning squeeze play (if you don't know the terminology don't ask). But anyways my mom was able to come to the game and while I didn't pitch I did get to go home with her afterwards and see my little brother. He had forgotten that I was supposed to come home today and when he heard my voice I heard this excited voice yell "bubby" from downstairs. While some may make fun of me for this, but it was truly a heart felt moment. I hadn't been home and seen him since January and while there is 14 years between us he means a lot to me. So needless to say, today was a great day. I got loaded up on groceries, a haircut, and most importantly got to spend some time with my family.

I want to keep all my roommates posted on the state of our room after having just me in it for a full day. Nothing is broken, the snack cabinet is full to the bursting and I'm still alive. Spring Break '08 is not as bad or as lonely as I had expected. And by the way goal accomplished. To those involved you know what I mean.

Now I like to end on a witty or funny quote so here it goes: "Friendship is like peeing on yourself, everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings."
