I’ve had some hardships over the past year and life can be a complicated mess but everyone has their ups and downs.
I got a big promotion a year ago but the benefits haven’t outweighed the negatives so I’m at a crossroads. It has brought me financial stability in these hard times though which I’m thankful for but I know I’m going to have to make a decision one way or the other at some point.
My son has become fully invested in baseball this year and the journey still continues. He went from Little League to All Stars to now travel ball and will pitch in his first 9U kid pitch game tomorrow so that’s very exciting. I’m a nervous wreck but can’t wait to see him perform. We have lived at the baseball field since April, and it’s been an honor to watch him grow as a person and player. I don’t think we’ll know what to do with ourselves when the travel season ends next month but basketball is next up for him and he’s excited for that. Hopefully this year I can get him into watching some KU games with me as he was curious at times last season.
With work - similarly I got a promotion about a year ago. Then immediately we were (are) and industry current administration is going after. Caused a ton of stress. Went to therapy to help me understand why I was hating work so much. It very much helped keep things in perspective. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it first before leaving.
Congrats on the baseball! Good luck to him pitching! I miss playing baseball at that age more than any other competitive sports I played.
My 6 year old came home singing this, which he picked up at school. I guess theres a clapping game that goes with it. I enjoyed the regional variations in the reddit thread.

I wonder if you guys have encountered any similar spoken word things (or other things) that varied greatly by region?
@nwhawkfan The game was a bit ugly & got real tense in the end, Rivers converted two long 4th downs on the final drive, it came down to the final play where the D came through
@Crimsonorblue22 Nephew, who has been to many KU fb games, was amazed. He said it was like a fb game broke out in the middle of the biggest street party he’s ever seen.
@jaybate-1.0 They have that in spades. I love that team. They have to be my favorite to win it all again this year. No disrespect to any current KU players in the NBA right now but Steph Curry is my favorite player. He wasnt until he started taking off on this interstellar elevation of his game. I mean I just shake my head in amazement at some of the stuff he does! Its Jordanesque. Even better in some ways. Curry seems pretty grounded and from what I remember of Jordan, not so much.
@Lulufulu I like your thinking!
@jaybate-1.0 In the video they said it’s going to be a parking lot. However, we could put a secret underground lair for the BIA kinda like they did at DIA?
@Crimsonorblue22 Wow! What a great tree. I still have my World Series ornament from 1985. Gotta get one for this year too. (And of course, KU National Championship ones too.)
Personally, I’d add a few other KC-related things to the tree, like, say, an ornament with a picture of the Plaza lights, or maybe some mini-bottles of local barbecue sauce…
How many kids die each year playing sports? Used to be more people died playing baseball than any other sport. Seems like there are around 20+ people who die each year from football, but it’s really getting press right now. Concussions are a bigger problem in soccer, but that bucks the stigma and nobody cares about soccer.
I hope a better concussion protocal and treatment options can be come up with soon. It’d be great if a guy could take a pill after a violent collision and no brain swelling would occurr. Medicine may hold a solution in the future, but for now if you want your kids to be 100% safe let them develop diabetes playing on the iPad.
