I needed help but no one was there. It started Friday when I rented a s****r movie. They were actually having practices on a baseball field – ahh. My son was gone most of the weekend trying to have a “social life” prior to baseball kicking in again. Finally I snapped.

My wife and I always thought about adoption and today seemed to be the right day. Obviously, getting a newborn is tough and we weren’t sure if we were young enough to go through all that again. So we got an older boy.

It was great, brought him home and we went out back with a bucket of baseballs. I threw and he chased them down – guaranteed SS or centerfielder IMHO. The boy can run. He wouldn’t throw the ball back, he just collected them all…..I think it’s a trust thing. All I know is I had a blast.

He absolutely loves my van – Travel Baseball here we come!!! I started looking into some pros that might help him along and I was really surprised that my wife wanted to be the one that brought him. I figure it is time my wife gets to witness the nuances of good throwing, hitting and fielding mechanics. She did confuse me a bit though, she was excited about seeing him be able to sit, stay, rollover and things like that.

I think she is losing her mind – but I’m fine now.

From the above list, you forgot:

-Been to a lazer show at the big rock.
-Know what and where the Big Chicken is
-Have eaten boiled peanuts
-Measure spring by when the vidalias appear in stores
-Have a red mud stain on at least one article of clothing
-Have driven to the mountains for fried apple pies
-Have riden the Jolly Trolly to see the lights
-Know who Willie B was
-Know who Knockahoma was
-Know what the Rich's Tree is
-Can perform the chop shop chant perfectly
-Always use "Coke" as the general all-purpose word for any type of soda.

The first one was good. But quillgirl, you nailed it. All of the above!

Have eaten boiled peanuts

Not just that, but you gotta LOVE 'em.

"You've lived in Georgia for more than 5 years."

Way too little time to fully assimilate.

Forgot these on my list:
-Have tubed the Hooch.
-Remember the Pink Pig, rode it, and got a tree shaped mint-flavored jelly sucker at the end.
-Know there is no real Tara that you can go visit.

All of the above and;

What'll ya have what'll ya have what'll ya have?!

Naked dog walkin and a FO

"Know there is no real Tara that you can go and visit"

If you go to the Jonesboro, Ga tourist train depot in town (Located just off of Tara Blvd)they will give you a map to the house that was Margaret"s "inspiration" for the house/book. Reality is NOTHING like the movies!

Underground ATL Open, Closed, Open, Closed,Open?

PEACH DROP

StillLearning,

Yes, I know about that "inspiration" house. There are several claims... The reality is, there never was a "Tara" in GA. The whole thing was a studio set! LOL!

As for the dog: I prefer mine with slaw and a PC rather than a FO.
