40 Beautiful Yards, Baby.....

During my journey to Washington, DC for the funeral this weekend, Joey had a game against Weymouth. Little Prince Charming, The Animal, ran the ball 40 yards in the first play of the game!!!! While it figures I missed it, Dad was there to see it for himself, which makes me feel better about not being there. However, there is enormous irony in me being the dingdong carting him to practice, keeping his practice and game stuff ready-for-trouble, and missing his first enormous drive up the field with the ball.

It doesn't matter...there are so many more plays to come, and I am lucky enough to be able to "be around" as often as I am....Just Please, God, grant me a billion more opportunities to see everything they are capable of. That's all I really Need.

Way To Go, Joe...Both boys are playing so well, fluidly & versatile positions. This is going to be a hell of a season, baby. Did I mention I LOVE my job??? There are no "days off", but the pay couldn't be better.

Sad Day...

On Monday, September 8th, Jim Slattery passed away. The world will never be the same without Jim in it, especially for his wife and children. The ultimate prankster, teaser, and crazy-wit and humor kind of guy, he will be missed...terribly, for many, many years to come.

R.I.P, BigJimmy, until you brighten our days on the other side, once again.

So, we've moved.....AGAIN!

The Palmatier Clan glided from Dedham Ave to Nehoiden Street with a weeks notice, and into a doubly-huge home! We had houseguest-teenagers for the entire balance of the summer, but overall it was a good experience, and everyone came out the other end, unscathed.

While the move into the new house seemed like (or WAS) the best move we ever made, the property is potentially going to be developed in the very near future, making another move quite possible!

Football has begun. Cheer has also started. School is in full force, and Chris' travel, which has been minimal over the 2008 summer, is going to take over again for a while...I guess we're making sure we can do-it-all, and do it well. Game On!!!! Bring it.
