This is a week all of our kids and coaches, moms and dads won’t soon forget. Being at the home of baseball with a 12 year old team playing 103 other teams from around the nation, in a truly beautiful setting, is about as good as it gets…
Getting set for tonight’s opening ceremony at the Cooperstown Dreams Park. A total of 104 teams from around the nation are here to play in a week long tournament; we are the only team from Alabama. It took a 23 hour bus trip to get here!
We pulled out of Birmingham around 10:00… Our 12 boys on the Hoover East roster, four coaches, one umpire, and a bunch of parents. I am writing this as we drive through Knoxville shortly after 3:00 a.m. EDT. Thankfully I am used to little or no sleep; we are driving straight to Cooperstown, where we [...]
I will be away from the weather business for the next 10 days… I am helping coach a 12 year old baseball team called the “Hoover East Heat”. We leave tonight for Cooperstown, New York, the home of baseball, to play in a week-long tournament at the Cooperstown Dreams Park. We will be there with [...]

What a wonderful time of the year. School is out; time to load the kids in the car and head south to the beautiful Gulf Coast. Sure, I know many of you enjoy the Florida panhandle, but this is alabamawx.com after all, so we always focus on getting you down to the southern tip of [...]
My daughter, Rebecca, and I had a spectacular day Monday with lots to see and explore in and around the Mt. Rushmore area of Southwest South Dakota. Here are pictures we took that sample the day. The first few pictures are from Mitchell, SD, and Wall Drug at Wall, SD. We started out Monday at [...]
The trip to Southwest South Dakota is underway. I drove to Chicago yesterday with an uneventful trip. I left Birmingham around 5:45 am and arrived in Chicago a little after 4 pm. Got stuck in traffic for the Cubs game actually. Here are some pictures from along the way. I’ve seen the wind farm before, [...]
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so maybe this one tells it all!! Yes, I’m heading out Thursday morning on a trip to Mt. Brianmore! With all due respect and a big apology to the stone president on the left, George Washington, my daughter and are are going to grab our digital [...]
