Last night in Findlay was a good time. I went to eat at Jeds with Maddis. Then I went to the Rib Fest, where I saw many people I knew. Afterwards I went to Uncle Bucks, where I saw Carrie. I also ran into somebody I met over three years ago. Tonight I'm eating dinner at St. Anthonys after Mass. It''s the night before our social, and there is a 5k run including a party type atmosphere.

Hello all. I have spoken with several contacts this morning in regards to speaking to high school. I also conversed with Tim, who is hopefully going to get me into an Ohio State Buckeyes practice on the 11th or 12th of this month. I'm excited about that possibility.
And tonight should be fun in Findlay. I'm going to Brian's and eventually the rib fest in Findlay. Putnam County's rib fest, last weekend in Ottawa, was great so I'm hoping this will be equally fun. Ashley was there last week so it will be hard to top that fun level.... but maybe she'll be there tonight also. Not likely but possible!!!

Melissa...where are you? When will you ever check this blog out. The perfect word to describe you incoherent and selfish continuation of avoiding my page is... wait for it, LAZY. I barely can fathom your apparently better half checking my page out while you have repeatedly failed to do so. It must be terrible to live w/ the guilty feeling of saying you will but never actually checking the web page out. One tip: check the youtube video at the bottom of my page (www.mattschroeder.org) Click play and watch 5:50

Our kitchen appliances will be here tomorrow, and Mark finished most cupboards and drawers, but he'll put the divider and pantry in next week after he builds and stains them. The NFL should stand for National Favre League as reporting on this saga of Brett Farve is becoming rather ridiculous.

Today at the hospital was completely awesome. I mean I really thrive on meeting new people, and volunteering is the best way to do that. I technically made no money today, but I've made quality contacts and friends. Friends are worth far more than money is. I also made some progress on getting my promotional mailings ready to go. Next Tuesday will be a major stepping stone on my way to becoming a well known speaker. I also spoke with Michelle, who I have not spoken to in person in7 three months, and Holly . Both conversations were great, and I got really pumped up with the outlook of my book. Tomorrow will be awesome.

I'm going to the church basement for a K of C family picnic, and in the evening I am going to my uncle's place for a little get together. Yesterday was a blast, as could be expected. Two softball games with family playing and a wonderful time had at the Rib Fest. Believe it or not, I met some really cool people. I'm usually kind of a shy guy (maybe not:-). Ashley was there, and I had the opportunity to meet some of her friends. One Klear girl from Miller City knew me already, but Michelle was from Columbus. I saw many people I knew already. Mustang Sally was the band that performed in the evening. They were very good, and I hope they had a safe trip back to Tennessee this morning.

Schroeder's lost their softball game and oddly enough they don't play again, in this double elimination tournament, until this afternoon. If they win then a third game starts roughly two hours after our game ends. It is true that we only were victorious once in the regular season, but typically we win once in the tourney. That said, I'm fully prepared for Schroeder's to play twice today.
The rib fest is today and tonight. That will be entertaining after softball.
