As most of you know, the 14th Annual At-Home Dad's Convention is in Omaha this year. For those of you who don't know much about Omaha, tune in to the upcoming College World Series here in Omaha that starts this Saturday, June 13 and runs for about 10 days.

Check it out on ESPN and ABC. Not only will you get to watch awesome baseball, but you will get a lot of great information about Omaha. The CWS is an Omaha tradition, having been played here for 51 years and will continue to be played here for the next 25 in a new downtown ballpark.

And yes, Zesto's is awesome!

Two Regionals Played Near Our House

Cal State Fullerton hosted one of the regionals and so did UCI (ranked #1 at one time).  Both are about 20 minutes from our house.

Didn't get a chance to attend because it conflicted with my boys' volleyball schedule.

Are you rooting for any team?

I pick a team every year

I always pick a team and this year I'm going with Southern Miss. because I happened to watch them beat Florida in the Super Regional. Come from behind win from a team no one expected to be here.

Last year I pick Fresno State, so we'll see if I can make it two in a row!

Incredible game last night!

If you missed it, last night was gem between Arkansas and Virginia. Great pitching duel with a 9th inning 2-run smash to tie it by Arkansas and then some timely hitting in the 12th to win it.

Weather has been perfect despite the terrible perdictions by the weather forecasters here. Hopefully we won't use up all that good luck before the convention in October!

Another amazing finish

My wife's client bailed, so I got to go to the game last name between Arizona State and Texas. WOW, what a game! Two solo homers in the 9th to win it for Texas and send them to the Championship series with LSU. Felt bad about ASU losing because they played so well except for those two bad pitches.

Expect an awesome best of 3 series Monday thru Wednesday... don't miss it!
