We arrived safely in Myrtle Beach, S.C., aka the Redneck Riviera late this afternoon. It is good to be back in my home state and near to my old stomping grounds. The water was warm enough to get in and the weather was a perfect 75 degrees with just a few clouds.
My son is playing in a 10 and under tournament this weekend at The Ripken Experience. We have two games on Saturday and at least one and as many as three (assuming we are winning) on Sunday. His first game is 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning, so we are all retiring early tonight.
Perhaps I’ll have some time to get a post up this weekend. Perhaps not. We’ll see…
As for the markets, any gains keep getting sold. The market cannot hold its gains into the close. We should be bouncing, but are not. That is troublesome. I’ll be thinking over this weekend how to break down the recent action to see if there are any clues about the future waiting for us in the past.
Awsome! Played in what looks like a similar tournement at Cooperstown when I was young kid. Great game.
Enjoy your visit there, nice place and a good time to go. I wish your son luck in his games.
We’ve really grown to like MB; we usually visit twice a year, and actually considered moving there. One of the most friendly towns we’ve ever been to, right behind Hilton Head. Any season but summer to avoid the crowds and take advantage of lower hotel rates.
Thanks guys! We just took a BAAAAAAD beatdown the first game. Boys looked like they had lead in their cleats. Next game is soon…Wish us luck!
Lost 1st game 18-2 OUCH. Won 2nd game 15-5. Better. Have to wait to see how the other teams did to find out seeding for tomorrow. Off to the beach!
