Baseball at ONEOK Field

Last Thursday SuperPizzaBoy and I went to see the Tulsa Drillers play baseball at ONEOK Field downtown.

(“Hey, isn’t that Yogi and SPB sitting behind home plate?”)

We had a great time. I got to watch some great baseball, son got some pizza and ice cream. (Don’t tell his Mom!)

(My camera really likes to focus on the net.)

I ask you what kind of nerd scores the game?

Yeah, really, what of it?

Son was getting kind of bored with things until the 7th inning stretch when he came to life. First because, he loves to sing and this being Oklahoma we sang both “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” and “Oklahoma.” Son loves Oklahoma.

Second, I promised him we would go home at the end of the inning.

My World

A Mule Named Jed

This is an update on son SuperPizzaBoy’s therapeutic riding program, “Bit by Bit” at Roger’s State University here in Oklahoma. He is still participating and doing very well and loves it even though he and his Mom have to drive 25 miles to the program after school on Monday evenings.

Recently they have switched him over to a mule named Jed. Jed is over 20 years old but still looks great. (To my unknowledgable eye at least.) Jed seems like a very calm and collected mule. SPB’s instructor says he is doing better than ever. We are big fans of Bit by Bit.

Bit by Bit has very few paid staff. The outrider’s ensuring the safety of the rider and the people taking care of the horses and the stable are all volunteers. We appreciate them very much.

We the clients of Bit by Bit are big fans. They do a lot with not very much.

Son is gaining more and more confidence with every session. He is going to participate in a Pinto Show and an Appaloosa show at the Tulsa Fairgrounds later this year.

There is no way that he could do this without Bit by Bit.

SPB has a form of Autism called Asperger’s Syndrome. Hippotherapy helps with his body awareness in several different ways.

I’m sure that there are similar programs near where you live.

Give them a little love if you are so moved and able.

SuperPizzaBoy’s Camera

I have been going through SPB’s camera looking at the photos he has taken the last several months. These are some he took at Tulsa’s Philbrook Museum at a gathering of family of friends in honor of his grandmother Nana’s birthday.

That’s Nana to the right, Sweetie, Me, and then family friends Donna and John.

I think the boy is doing ok with his camera.

Halloween 2010 #1

Halloween started early. A lady I work with brought her two grandchildren to the office. Her grandson posed proudly for a photo.

His sister was having none of it.

They liked my atomic fireballs though.

Later I went to the Halloween Party SuperPizzaBoy’s school was having. Yep, you heard me, Halloween Party! Yeah private school. For those of you aghast at the thought of a Haloween Part, as far as I know none of the little devils has turned into a satan worshiper, yet.

Sweetie was there helping out. She is here, there, and everywhere. She doesn’t stay still long enough to get a non-blurred photo.

They had a pumpkin raffle and I won two of them.

You should have heard all the grumbling, “I can’t believe he won two of them.” Hey I bought five tickets and only won two pumpkins. I was counting on at least three.

But you know what the big news of the night was?

Bonnie and Clyde made a special appearance!

Aren’t they cute? Bonnie especially is very sweet.

I just love Halloween. How is yours going?

Oklahoma Video Game Expo 2010

Yesterday was windy and rainy in Tulsa so SuperPizzaBoy loaded up and went to the Tulsa suburb of Bixby to check out the Oklahoma Video Game Expo 2010. We walked into it and SPB took off inside, I yelled, “Hey Pizza Boy, get back here.” The lady taking the money laughing said “Yeah Pizza Boy get back here.” We paid, got our hands stamped and off he went. He kept asking me how the lady knew his name.

It was amazing. OVGE is about “Classic Gaming” which seems to be early 1980’s to early 1990’s. All the old systems clogging up your attics, closets, and garages were represented. Plus many arcade games.

SPB must have played on almost two dozen systems. Most of which he had never seen before. Games of all different genres. It was amazing to watch him pick up the controller and start playing these games. Young people today, they are amazing.

I loved watching him so engrossed and absorbed in something. He played the games until he was exhausted. Then “Lets go home Dad.” “OK, lets go home Son.”

Hey you know its Sunday, lets have a prayer for our kids.

“Whate’er I do, things great or small“

Whate’er I do, things great or small
Whate’er I speak or frame.
Thy glory may I seek in all,
Do all in Jesus’ name.

My Father, for His sake I pray.
Thy child accept and bless
And lead me by Thy grace to-day
In paths of righteousness. Amen.

I knew this was the right prayer for today when I saw an ad on the page for a web version of Pac Man.

Halloween Serendipity #2

I found an old box camera on the floor of SuperPizzaBoy’s closet a while back. I took it in to get processed and found among other photos these of SuperPizzaBoy from several years ago.
