If you need a reason to root for a team, this is it.

I heard this story this morning on the radio. The thing that makes this so good of a story is that teams are notorious for bickering about who gets what amount of money when it comes to the playoffs. To award any portion of playoff money to a AA affiliate is unprecedented.

Here is the whole story.

    Way to go! Great decision!

    And this is really embarrassing to say SD, but I didn't know that Colorado had a baseball team. Don't yell! Don't ban me! They're called the Colorado Rockies? Oh brother. :)

    Yeah Grant, whatever... :^)

    Zed: That's right Zed, we finally got a major league team in 93, we have had AAA baseball forever around here.

    The Rockies are the second team to have the name, the first Colorado Rockies was a hockey team.

    I'm rooting for the Rockies (and the Red Sox and Indians). Thank god the Cubs got eliminated, so we don't have to worry about them...

    How can anyone NOT like the Rockies? Todd Helton's goat-tee alone has me sold!

    When I lived in Colorado (briefly) we went to a game at Coors Field, love that place. I have always followed the Rocks and was SO happy to see them turn it on toward the end, and now I hope they can keep their momentum against the D-Backs.

    And yeah, this story is awesome, shows a lot of heart on a team.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
