Not softball, but close enough" width="300" height="225" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Rylan at a Twin&#39;s Game.  Not softball, but close enough</p></div>
<p>Tonight was our 2<sup>nd</sup> to last game of softball.  We won 19-0.  It was a late game so the little one and Melissa could not make it.  Every dad needs those nights of just men and competition.  It feels a lot better to win those competitions then open a can of beer and guzzle the taste of victory.  Tonight’s win was especially sweet as we have sole possessions of 2<sup>nd</sup> place. There was no chance of us getting 1<sup>st </sup>place team was exceptionally good.</p>
<p>After next week, I will be in the home stretch of my last few weeks off of work.  I will then have to start coaching high school soccer and have less time with the little one and the gorgeous wife.  The benefits of being a stay at home dad for two months and the three reasons of becoming a teacher, June, July and August.</p>
<p>Those months of summer can never be taken away because of have some nights of male bonding with fellow fathers and some day to be dads.  It feels good to bond with my fellow man and sip a cold one.  It is better though to have time with Rylan and the wife.  Oh the dreads of work but being lucky to have a good paying job (Yes, teaching can pay well).  Thank you for the great summer Rylan and wife.  Thank you fellow men for the male bonding and letting the aggression out of hitting a softball.  Cheers to victory and cheers to the dad blog!</p>
<p>If you like softball, you may like this <a href="http://softballinsider.blogspot.com/">softball blog</a> that I have read a few times for the love of softball.</p>
