Its one of those great traditions that deserve to live on.

The weekend in Headland, AL

The videos say it all.

Summer in Asheville w/ Baseball

I always like to go back and watch this. I love baseball and minor league is just as fun to go see in person.
This is the Asheville manager Joe Mikulik and I personally know him and to see him like this is hilarious.
He is a great guy and I am glad there were no long-term issues after this blowup. In fact the local community got together and helped raise money to pay his fine.

Living Waters

I'm a slacker, at least when it comes to blogging.

I have not been posting for the last few weeks because I have had other things on my mind. I'm in a quandary at work as to the future and I have been trying to get in shape as well. I will say that good audiobooks and my iphone make it a lot easier to get out and sweat a bit.

The last audiobook was the Fareed Zakaria that I posted about but my current one is "Confessions of an Economic Hitman" by John Perkins. It has been an eye opening experience to say the least. To me it shows the sinister side to Capitalism and the never-ending spread of greed. I would not recommend it to everyone because it will certainly shake your sense of the idea that the US has always been out to help the world. The US has been out to help the world but only if we get paid.

Some of the biggest names in recent US politics are implicated in this as well. From the obvious ones like Cheney & George HW Bush to others like George Schultz, Robert McNamara, Casper Weinberger and Henry Kissinger. Some of the most powerful people in US politics are often the ones that prospered the most from developing nations. The correlation is the real story in the book.
