This and That...

I had to steal a blog title from Roch Kubatko (read his blog at http://www.masnsports.com/) for a RARE 'during the week' blog. Here are a few items of note:

• I hate the Yankees. You all know that. O's were swept by them this week, but I am not as sad-faced as I could be seeing as they hung in every game instead of mailing it in...
• There's a strong possibility we are going to have an offer on our house. If so, hopefully this long, dark chapter on my life will be over. Man this whole thing has been a pain.
• Because of the house selling and worrying about how I'm going to pay for a place to live come September, I was really worried I wouldn't be able to go anywhere this year for vacation. My 5th anniversary is August 1, and I was really afraid that we'd have to postpone any kind of 'getaway'. Turns out, my wife may be the devil, but damn, she can plan a trip. She got us the hookup on a hotel in Baltimore, and I bought tickets, and Yes, she, Christopher and I ARE going to 2 O's games!!!! Freaking awesome! I was really scared I'd miss going there for the first time since 2004.
• Once all the dust settles from my mini vacation,and this house selling mess, I am going to jump back into my 1955 and 1970 sets, while I knock out 2003 and 2009 Allen and Ginter. I doubt I will start any new sets until all of these are complete and I have an idea where I will be living. I will keep everyone posted, but the way it looks, I think I and my family will be just fine!!!
