COMMENTARY
A couple of years ago I decided for a number of reasons that I would create a couple of blogs with one for sports and one for other news items.As you can tell, I have put in a lot of work on this blog and very little on the other.
So far this one has 113 posts with the last one appearing on April 25 when East Coweta defeated Westlake in high school baseball.
I meant to add a few more but for some reason that didn't happen and I regret that because there was still a few events going on and issues in which I would comment about.
Since that last post, the Indians were eliminated from the state playoffs by a pretty good Luella team while the girls' soccer teams at Northgate and East Coweta advanced to the final four of the state playoffs.
Former Northgate baseball standout Will Smith came home and pitched a couple of games in relief for the Milwaukee Brewers at Turner Field against the Atlanta Braves while one time Lady Viking hoopster and tennis star Natalie Pluskota has been trying to find her niche in the world of professional tennis.
Over the past couple of weeks, Pluskota has been at Roland Garros during the French Open and adding to lessons of life while there.
Her mother Sherry, who nearly started a war with the French while there, has put together a blog that allows friends and family to keep up with our budding tennis star.
That site is called Pluskota Tennis and to geth there just hit this link
In the past couple of days, Tray Matthews must have hit his limit at the University of Georgia as he was excused from the Bulldogs by head football coach Mark Richt but good news also came through the news cycle as former East Coweta pitcher Cam Bedrosian finally got his call to the show by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
With papa Steve, brother Kyle and his wife as well as baby sister Katelyn in attendance, Cam made his debut as an Angel reliever in the sixth inning in Houston against the Astros.
He had a strikeout and induced a pair of groundouts and he wore number 68 as the excited males of the Bedrosian clan showed their pleasure. The Bedrosian women were calm but they were also pleased.
Cam and his Angel teammates will play in Turner Field the weekend of the 13th against the Braves.
Also, former Northgate softball star Ansley Smith and her Kentucky Wildcat teammates appeared in a regional in Los Angeles and gave the tournament a run before being eliminated in what was considered to be a very exciting but heartbreaking game.
So as you can see, I have missed a lot of things since the end of April and that is regrettable.
But I keep on keepin' on.
While I have missed a lot of opportunities, I like writing the blog but it provides little or no funds to the massive fortune.
Of course, my boyish good looks will not keep the lights on, gas in the car or allow for a new pair of shoes as well as a possible haircut (I have two brothers who are dying for that one).
The preceding sentence was not meant as a woe is me but a negative in writing this blog and statement of reality in my life.
The other is I am not that bright and it is tough to put something together as often as I did when I was writing on a regular basis at a local publication.
In other words, at this time I do not have a lot of story possibilties right now but I am trying to take care of that problem.
I plan to submit the 115th post soon but after that it is unknown what will happen as I try to get things together and hope for an inspiration.
Meanwhile, I will be in Princton, Kentucky for a few days as part of a four-man religious mission.
While there, I hope to convert the masses to become fans of the Georgia Bulldogs and Atlanta's professional sport teams during the moments that I try to help my fellow man.
Highlights of the trip will be on a different blog that I have and has seen nothing posted in a long time.
That blog is called The Papercut which is a non-sports blog that never seemed to get off the ground and was to be used for the same purpose as this blog.
To access it, one simply needs to click here and viola!
My hope is to have something on Saturday with a few photos and maybe a little ditty about the ride on Interstates 75 and 24.
Until then, hopefully I will find answers to questions that remain in my head.
