Family Fun Flushing Friday
A while back I decided to start a Friday feature, and then I got away from regular blogging for a while. Over the past few weeks, I have been meaning to catch up.
So here goes …
Great Times with Family
As much as I miss having Billy around, I’m enjoying the new memories I’m making with Becky. This was the second year that Becky helped me set up the Christmas tree and hang the lights on the house. Billy used to help me set up the tree and then we would all decorate it, and Billy and I always did the house ourselves. Last year – 2011 – was the first year Becky and I did those things and it was a lot of fun. I looked forward to it this year. It is like the handing of the torch.
I wrote about this a bit already, but I also got to take Becky to her first midnight movie opening recently – and for a movie I’ve looked forward to for more than thirty years. 
Speaking of movies … We’ve always watched a lot of movies in the weeks leading up to the Academy Awards, but this year and last we have seen even more movies because Billy is home from school and actually has time to watch. I’ve watched 29 films during his break this year – 13 since January 1.
I’m worried about Mike Piazza
All the talk about steroids and the hall of fame has been very worried about Mike Piazza. I don’t know if Piazza was a user or not. My problem, though, is that he was drafted in the 62nd round and then turned out to be the best offensive catcher of all time. I’m just afraid the voters will make the assumption that he’s a cheater.
Like I said yesterday, cheaters belong in the hall of fame anyway, but it seems many voters do not agree.
