Monday Musings - May 12, 2014

1. Mother's Day 2014 is over. I hope you remember your Mother for the rest of the year.

2. I made an interesting statement yesterday about my wife, Chris, when speaking to the family--"she is a mother to us all!"

3. Amazingly, the pool is open although not ready for swimming. The winter was not kind to it and it will need a few repairs to start the season. It looks a lot better in the picture than it is in person.

4. I went to an amazing baseball game Saturday evening--the Orioles won after a 55 minute rain delay to over come a one run deficit in the bottom of the ninth. Winning in the tenth was awesome.

5. It can be very hard to get out of bed on Monday mornings.

6. The month of May is rocketing by--the leaves are nearly full on the trees and now that the pool is open, the outdoor fun is only just beginning.

7. The Orioles almost pulled off back-to-back sweeps, but came up short yesterday.

8. Why is the door always open on my pool house?
