When I was
in preschool or early in elementary school, my mom worked as a real estate
agent for Howard Hanna. While I don't think she worked in real estate for very
long, and I don't remember much of her time there, all of the families were
invited to a BBQ at a nice house with a big backyard. Phil Garner of the
Pittsburgh Pirates was at this gathering, and I got his autograph. Garner
passed away on Saturday at the age of 76.
Luigi is
playing flag football this season and had his first game over the weekend.
About half-way through his game, we saw another team, the Browns warming up for
their game. I'm 98% sure that the Browns are coached by 3-time Pro Bowl
cornerback of the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, Joe Haden. The
coach definitely looks like Joe Haden and he wore Browns shorts with Haden and
#23 on them. I also overheard some other parents mentioning that he played in
the NFL. The only reason I'm not 100% certain that the coach is Joe Haden is
because I can't figure out why he's coaching a 2nd-3rd grade team in Northern
Virginia. Apparently, Haden lives in Bowie, Maryland, which isn't that far from
the Northern Virginia field, but it's not necessarily close either. Luigi's
team plays the Browns in mid-May. The Moose wants to meet him!
Since my wife
rarely reads this blog, I'm going to share something personal today. I always
throw in a dryer sheet for each load of laundry I put in the dryer. She never
does. I don't understand this. Why have staticky clothes when the load finishes
when this is easily preventable?
Just finished season 3 of Shrinking. Loved it! I read that the show was renewed for a fourth season. While I think season three ended at a perfect spot and another season isn't necessary, the cast and writers are so good that I'm sure they'll figure out a way to make another season great.
The Moose is
playing recreational basketball this spring in a league of 9th and 10th
graders. Even though he just played basketball this winter, the kids seem much
bigger this season. Apparently, some of the kids on high school basketball
teams play rec now that the high school season is over. The team The Moose
faced on Sunday had two players that were at least 6'3"!

Dryer sheets are a big point of contention in our house. My husband thinks we should just use these wool dryer balls and they prevent static. In my experience, they do absolutely nothing to prevent static, and you have to hunt them down within a load so you can reuse them in the next dryer load, which I am not willing to do. I use dryer sheets. He feels that these put a "coating" onto clothes and towels and make them less durable (and towels less absorbent). As long as I'm the one doing the laundry, dryer sheets it is. I do use the balls too if they are there but don't spend the time looking for them if they are missing.
