Recent travels...

Work took me to Granbury yesterday. On the way back I was blessed to watch a Richards male tradition. In the 103 degree heat, I had the pleasure of watching the Coach Pitch Angels, of the University Little League in Fort Worth, hold a practice. 
Our son is coaching and his son is playing. 
I can close my eyes right now and see my grandfather calling me out on a bang-bang play at the plate when I was 10. My grandfather, father, me, and my son have now all coached a Little League team. 
I had my first team at 15 when dad's workload basically had me in charge. I coached for 17 seasons in College Station, Waco and Merkel. 
It was a real treat, watching Joey and Case, and 9 other 6 year olds Carry On. I am sure my grandfather and father would agree.
Taco Tuesday at Rosas afterward with Allison was the icing on the cake.
