The headlines of our lives:
Giants: There will be fanfare if Bonds passes the Babe
Yep, there will be a huge celebration! Everyone will grab a syringe and squirt steroids into the air! They’ll also have a “Bonds Appreciation Night” where they give away foam asterisks and cattle prods.

Kia is coming to West Point, GA! Here’s the link:
Kia to open plant in Georgia, add more than 5,000 jobs
And our coverage: Kia Coming to West Point, GA
Approximately 5,500 jobs from the $1.2 billion plant and five additional suppliers. If you don’t know about West Point, it’s a town of about 4,000 people, and it used to be a heavy textile town. This will certainly boost their economy!
I can’t tell you how happy I am for this little area. They’ve needed a shot in the arm for so long, and this is it. What a great night for them!

Here’s a little baby update for you! I can always thank my girl Hayley for motivating me!
Alyssa is doing very well. She’s just over two weeks old, and she is more precious than you can imagine. There’s only one problem (and it’s common to every parent):
We can’t sleep.
This little booger has some lungs on her! Amy is trying to keep her calm at night, but some nights she’s wired. Unfortunately, Amy’s catching the worst end of it because she’s not using formula.
However, our wee one is healthy as can be. She dropped down to 6 lbs, 5 oz. from her original birth weight of 7 lbs, 1 oz. But thanks to a ferocious feeding schedule, she’s up to 7 lbs, 5 oz.
That piece of good news brought even better news today. The doctor told us we can now wait 4-6 hours between night feedings. We were getting her up every 2.5 hours to help get her weight up.
Outside of no sleep, we’re doing well. Alyssa is a happy girl. She’ll lay her head on our shoulders and try to lift up. She’ll have the widest eyes and open mouth. She’s beyond cute! She’s downright gorgeous (and yes, I’m biased)!
I think that’ll do it for the quick update. I’ll have more later. Look for some new pictures soon!

Just a matter of personal opinion, but I’ve never liked Barry Bonds. It all started in the early 90s when the Pirates played the Braves in the NL championships. I couldn’t stand watching him then, and I can’t stand him now.
Now a book is tipping the scales against him even further. This article over at ESPN.com is a good one. I don’t wish bad things on anyone, but I can’t help but crack a smile knowing his home run production for the last few years will have a black cloud over it.
He doesn’t deserve to hold the record for single-season homers. It’s all a sham.
Well, that’s enough positive energy for now.
Maybe I’ll update you on the baby soon.
