The Boy's Big Day
Ok folks, a personal moment here, if you'll allow it. I have been offline all day, because as Paddy hinted at earlier, I was taking my six-month old boy to his first baseball game. For me this was a big deal, as that is how my dad and I bonded when I was young.
Dougie, that is the little boy, didn't seem to fully get what was going on. But he did dig my ice cream, his first little taste. We lasted a solid two hours and had a great time. And now I can help make sure my son is not only a Democrat, but yes, a Yankees fan too (It was a AAA Yanks game).
So sorry no politics here, just a great day spent with my son, which only reminds me why I care about things in this country as much as I do.

CliffDaddy, that was one excellent post.
SIX MONTHS OLD?! When did that happen?
Who knows gottalaff...it is crazy how the times flies, isn't it?
Perfect day for the outing Cliff!! Just gorgeous in our neck of the woods.
Hi Cliff!
How nice! :) Spend as much time with him as you possibly can because they grow up too fast! I'm a mom that knows too well.. :)
I think forcing an innocent six month old child to become a Yankee's fan is child abuse. Poor Dougie. ;-)
The only thing worse than that would be to subject him to a Cub's game. What's this world coming to???
I'm so happy for you Cliff.
I am a father too. My daughter is 17. As a single dad to a teen aged daughter, I can tell you have what it takes. Just love them no matter what.
Oh Cliff what a great story! Dougie is lucky to have a dad that's so involved with him. Although you obviously were reluctant to share YOUR ice cream ...
Sounds like a wonderful day...now get to work!
(A word to the wise, kids are great but Grandkids are A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!!)
Keep taking him to the games. He will get involved and enthralled in the goings-on eventually. I speak as someone who didn't BEGIN to appreciate baseball until well into adulthood. Now, I think all other games are just . . . lame.
Where was the game, not in Scranton, was it? That's a great park. I'm from that area (Don Sherwood country).
But come on, Cliff, a six-month-old at a ballgame is luggage, not a spectator.
