New Adventure

D8, as Yogi Berra once said, "When you come to the fork in the road, take it."

From one HS teacher and baseball coach to another, best of luck.   You're fighting the good fight.   I got into teaching almost 20-years ago because I loved history.   I've stayed in teaching because of the kids.   An Ag department is a great offering for your students and is a LOT of work; especially weekends and after hours.   

Thanks for the update and keep us posted.   Spring may be especially tough without baseball.   Or not?  Your BP arm may feel better next spring!!!

New adventures... awesome.  Those kids will be very fortunate to have you as the one launching another new program at the school.  I reckon this means even less of you hangin' around here which is unfortunate for "here" but more important mountains to climb await.

Awesome, man. That area and those kids will undoubtedly benefit from a program like that. Best of luck to you.

I would like to believe that when my ticket is punched I will go knowing that I contributed to society in a small way.  Sounds like you did wonders developing a good program and relating to young men in their development. Frequently you are interacting with my son more hours every day than I sometimes did. You not only taught him the game but hopefully a little about life and growing up.   Your diamond is now a classroom, no more bats and balls but test tubes and beakers.  You still have the capabilities and knowledge to guide a different "athlete" to be their best.  PLAY BALL !!!
