I have graduated...

Good luck in all the fun to come!

As everyone tells you,...the time zoooooooooms by!!
Hold on tight, don't blink,...
...and enjoy!!

RB5,
As long as you've been around, and as active as you've been, I'd bet there's not many parents out there as educated and informed about the whole system/process as you are.

NOW DON'T SCREW UP!!!

Enjoy the ride

Enjoy these next four years buddy. Dont rush one minute by. Dont miss one game or any activity you can possibly attend. You will never regret spending time with your kids. You will always regret times missed. Good luck. Your son is going to be one heck of a player. I look forward to following him in hs over the next four years.

Ditto what Coach May said.

I'm sure everyone is familiar with this Henry Chapin song.
It is one of my favorites, because the lyrics remind me
what is is really important:


My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play.
Can you teach me to throw?", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys.
See you later, can I have them please?"

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad.
It's been sure nice talking to you"

And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me

And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then

Hmmmmm, 6 years. I'm sure there's a joke in there somewhere. Not to mention that you only took 6 months to realize redbird_jr is no longer in MS.

Welcome to the big leagues, redbird5! I never really thought you were anywhere else, though.

I only regret that I didn't find this site earlier.

Buckle up!!!

Yes, time has ZOOMED by. My avatar is from his 9U team when most of our players were only 8, including him.

RB, congrats on being at HS level. Time really does FLY. I started reading here when mine began HS. Finally got the nerve to post about a year later. Now, he's a SR. I woke up this a.m. with June on my mind -Yikes, found myself saying "no!" outloud. It will be here all too soon. Enjoy the ride and keep posting!
