Welcome back!

.....and that's why baseball needs the designated hitter.

Oh, sorry.

Welcome back....let me reintroduce myself.

My name is John. This is me, right now as I'm typing this.

Meet Melissa. Mel and I have been married since March of 2009, which means that this year will be two years of marriage. Crazy.

We also have two dogs, who will likely be frequent topics of conversation on this blog.

Lacy and Sierra.

One is part Corgi and Rat Terrier, the other is part Lab and Sharpee. Don't let that picture fool you, because they're both two parts crazy.

We call this city our home. In another month, so will about 800,000 more people for the Super Bowl.

It's good to be back in the blogging world. Things won't be completely baseball intensive this time around, but if you know us you know sports make up a large part of our life, and this blog will probably show that now and then.

This blog is what I consider to be a "soft" work in progress. Chances are it'll change some, but not much. One thing that will change will be that logo you see on the top right corner. I basically found it by typing "VB" into Google and hoping that the search results that appeared would have nothing to do with any kind of sexually transmitted diseases.

Thankfully, I lucked out.

However, all that was decided upon BEFORE I received the miraculous wonder of a MacBook Pro from my wife for Christmas.

God bless that thing.

Let me wrap this up quick since the Rose Bowl is getting underway and just say, welcome to our little blog. I'm sure there will be more than a few entries full of things out there nobody really cares about, but isn't that what makes blogs great?

You would think that since I'm on here so much, chances are things will stay regularly updated, and I'll try to keep things just like that. But I'll apologize in advance for any lacks in blogging on my behalf. I'll try to keep them to a minimum.

It's good to be back.

Talk to you all soon.
