I Think They Mean Business

We have receive some type of daily telephone information from Rocky Mount High School almost daily over the four years that Morgan has been at RMHS.  Most of the time it's one of the assistants passing along what ever information they feel us as parents need to know just in case the note that was sent home got lost. 

The last two days the big guy himself(Leon Farrow) has been on the other end of the line giving a warning to all who attend graduation that there will be no noise , whooping and hollering whistling any kind of distraction that may interfere with anyone who can't hear their child's name called out when they walk across the stage to receive their diploma.  The word is you will be escorted out of the building an and charged with trespassing.

I can tell you I am very please with the way Mr. Farrow has run RMHS during Morgan's four years there.  I applaud him and the County trying to make the graduation an enjoyable event for those who have a  love one walking the stage and I hope every other Principal in the County has done that to all the parents of the other schools also.

I left it last night waiting to find out the score of the second game of the double header for Post 58 in Cherryville.  I glad I didn't wait up to hear the bad news.  Coleman Pitt lost in six innings 13-2 in the second game.  They have now slid to 6-4 on the year and lost four of their last five.  They will not play again until next Thursday night when they host Wilson which they will have over the week after that five home games in a row.

I hate  to hear that I'll have another has been scratched from the Belmont Stakes and will not have a chance to win the Triple Crown in horse racing.  He has developed Tendinitis.  I have a feeling his stud value will plummet too because if I had the money to breed a horse I would want one that seemed to be perfect and Tendinitis sounds a lot like me, over the hill.

The Wolfpack plays in the Super Regional at 2PM Saturday afternoon on ESPNU.  Thank goodness for DVD recorders.  Looks as if Florida State is having no trouble with Stanford tonight and Stoney Brook has gone 12 innings with LSU until the rains came.  Looks as if there has a chance to be a few surprises  in the eight who make it to the College World Series.
