There's a football field in there... somewhere!

A bit of fog during morning workouts this week here in Boscobel.

I'm nothing if not persistent - I got my first job in radio calling the station every day for 6 weeks until they hired me back in 2003!

And thank you. It took 2 years for them to realize I should have been charged in network (where deductible was met). Health insurance is an adventure sometimes.

When my 2nd son was born, I was charged mid 6 figures out of network for his NICU stay since the NICU wasn't part of my insurance's network. We didn't really have a choice but to put him in the (covered) hospital's NICU obviously. Finally got insurance to fix it, 2 years later. Largest W of my life.

I made it 10 years being married, somehow, despite how annoying I am. Life achievement unlocked!

This shit is too bleak for words.

Aren't many things better than lifting your kid out of a tough moment with encouragement. When he looks to the bleachers, he's got his parents cheering him on. And you can tell it works because he immediately pulls himself out of a bad result with a joke or a toothy grin.

Parenting is awesome.

Last night, my son had two hits, including the go-ahead RBI. Tonight, he struck out both times at the plate. Both nights, I told him I was proud of him for his effort.

When he makes a mistake, he will look at us (parents), and every time, we're telling him good effort. Sometimes, he cracks a smile.

Sometimes as a parent of a kid in sports, you're happy when they do well doing the sports thing. Make the goal, hit the ball, score the points. All good things.

But.

I'm personally happiest when my kids are genuinely enjoying sports like the giant goofballs they are.

When is it ever boring here

I'll be on Up North News at 7:50 to talk about the latest Packers move, @wiaawi.bsky.social state track, and the loss of a Wisconsin coaching legend over the weekend.

Going statewide on @civicmedia.us with @toddallbaugh.bsky.social right about now: civicmedia.us/app

It's shedding season (happens twice a year) but it's hard to be upset about all the fuzz tumbleweeds because they're kinda cute

Loud, attention-seeking, and overly dramatic (even as far as huskies go), but kinda cute

My kid ran from left field to 2nd base to celebrate a line drive catch. Then hit the griddy when the 1st base player scooped a throw out of the dirt for an out. 💯 Vibes only for this kid 😂

Office.... Or sauna 🫠

Most kids in youth baseball: Bored, picking flowers, kicking dirt

My kid in youth baseball: Always talking, somehow loud enough at all times to hear from the stands, runs across the outfield to celebrate his teammates making a big play
