How to keep score on a baseball score card?

1 - Pitcher; 2 - Catcher; 3 - 1st Base; 4 - 2nd Base; 5 - 3rd Base; 6 - Shortstop; 7 - Left Field; 8 - Center Field; 9 - Right Field

You might be thinking, okay what does all those numbers mean? Well, one of my favorite things to do at ball games is to keep score. At first, I wanted something to do with my dad and thought, he knew how, he could teach me. Now, I have realized that people don't keep score as often as they used to. People are more for the entertainment and the in between innings prizes and contest that they forget that we paid to see baseball. It helps you truly become a baseball fan. It is not easy, but fun. To be honest, practice makes perfect. After one game, you should be able to keep score on your own

I could attempt to teach you, but rather, here are a few links to help guide you.

Do you know..the tradition of wedding cake?

It's summertime and that usually means wedding season. Yesterday, I attended the wedding a friend from college and the Catholic priest talked briefly in his homily about the beautiful tradition about the cutting and feeding the wedding cake.

Did you know that:

• In the Roman times and for a few centuries, cake was crumbled over the bride's head to ensure her fertility. Women, would than rush to get the leftover that fell on the floor to receive extra insurance, I guess. 
• When the cake was cut, the wife and husband would feed each other the cake as a symbol of their mutual commitment to each other, from sickness to health... No matter what the circumstance they would be there for each other to feed each other, either spiritually or physically.  What a beautiful symbol! It should be done with elegance, but I guess our culture has made it into fun and games.
  

So tell your engaged couples about this rich history and if you are a women, I dare you to rush and eat the crumbs.

Do you know...the difference between a moutain or foothill?

I recently took a trip to Colorado and I have to admit, I love that state. I cannot believe how beautiful seeing those foothills or mountains can be.

I have always been in a state of denial and deep down knew those mountains were foothills.  I have never had enough time in my vacation to see the landscape, but my goal for next year is to take a few days off work and go climb one of those foothills.  I am midwest girl, we have to start small.

Wordnet says a foothill is "hilly land on the lower slopes of mountains."

So what is the difference between a foothill and mountain, so you can sound super smart to all your friends.

"You know it, when you see it" apparently. Some say its anything lower than 1000, but that is not proven. Seriously, I know. I read this article, it might help explain. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
