K-Man heads to spring training

Well, it's February. For many, the month of February sets off an internal alarm clock. It's the start of another baseball season. I think Keegan's alarm went off this afternoon. He grabbed his bat and one of the balls we have for his tee-ball set and asked me: "Ball?" Who can resist that invitation? Have you seen those dark brown eyes?

I grabbed some video of the work-out. My first video actually. We've been without a digital camera for about a year. And as I am want to do, I went to BestBuy the other night and replaced the lost camera. (Jen's in Cozumel. Seemed like a fair trade-off.) I like it so far. Feel free to give me some tips on posting videos to YouTube. Not sure I like the quality of the upload. It looked better on the computer before I uploaded it.

And now ... Keegan at the bat:

This makes me want to squeeze and kiss him like crazy. Jen's got a new do???
I, too, have word issues - I once worked with a professional who continued to say, "It was more than you could phantom.' It was like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Randel - His hand-to-eye is pretty good for a 2-year-old. We hit in the house all the time. They're just wiffle balls. That will change when we switch to a hard ball later. He is cute. He loves hugging the cat. Tiki's not a fan.

cbed - I'm looking forward to capturing more of his stuff too.

Amy - He is squeezable but he's not amenable to squeezing unless he's sleepy or ill. If you've ever watched Friday Night Lights, Jen went for the Tyra do. It looks good. "Phantom?" That doesn't even make sense. Sounds like something Tracy Jordan would say on 30 Rock.

Kee is awesome. Thanks for sharing the video. Looking forward to seeing more.

That kids skills are absolutely mind-bottling (one of my favorites)

Just a few Tracy Jordan gems:

1) I want to hold a mirror up to society and then win world record for biggest mirror.

2) I can’t read, Liz Lemon. My shameful secret is out! Now you know why I’m always running into the ladies bathroom. I can’t read! I sign my name with an X! I once tried to make mashed potatoes with laundry detergent! I think I voted for Nader! NADER!

3) Live every week, like it’s shark week.

4) When the law conflicts with our desires, we must operate outside of the law.

5) [Dealing cards] This round is Texas Doozy. Face cards are wild; three’s a jinx; and fives are twos.

6) Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets.

7) You know how pissed off I was when US Weekly said that I was on crack? That’s racist! I’m not on crack - I’m straight-up mentally ill!

If you have not checked out 30 Rock yet on NBC, you are missing out. Just as quotable -- if not more so -- as The Office.

Hilarious! I look forward to the rock coming back soon.

Keegan is awesome.
I love that kid.
I echo moma that I'm excited about future vid's of that boy.

My payroll accounting teacher says employee like this - "em-plo-wee" with a southern draw.
It's obnoxious to say the least.
