Where I have been the past few weeks?

I was busy reconnecting with this sociopath genius of a diagnostician – House. I am currently on Season 4 and I need to pace myself or else I would not get any work done this week. While on a medical point of view, House’s antics, stubbornness and even his way of diagnosing spells lawsuit and unethical practice of medicine (the diseases are also out of this world), I love the show. It makes me live and practice medicine vicariously through them.

I won’t be buying the DVDs because 1) I dont want to apply for a payday loan for it and 2) Everything can now be found online! After House, I will be watching Grey’s Anatomy next. Nothing beats medicine melodrama with such a McDreamy on the tube! After that I might try Lost (it’s on its final season and I haven’t even tried watching it!) and One Tree Hill. Let’s see.

Have you watched the movie Everyone’s Hero? It is the first animated movie dedicated to baseball! Here is the summary: “"Yankee Irving" is a heartwarming comedy-adventure, telling the story of a young boy’s thousand-mile journey to help Babe Ruth and the New York Yankees win the World Series.” I’m going to let Matthew watch this movie.

The last baseball movie I actually enjoyed was way back 1994 – Angels in the Outfield. Remember that movie? Here is the summary: “Roger, an 11-year-old foster child, hears his dad sarcastically say the chances of the family reuniting are as good as the California Angels winning the pennant. Roger interprets his dad’s comments as a promise and prays that God will help the Angels win the pennant. Following the prayer, a star winks back in agreement and angels unknowingly begin to help the ballplayers play better and win more games.”

That is why I want to have Matthew watch sport-related movies. I feel that they convey a moral lesson to be learned at the end. It helps me teach him the values of teamwork, hard work, sportsmanship, discipline, passion for something and camaraderie. After watching the movie – can you guess what he now wants? Yep. He wants Baseball Equipment!!! Can you imagine?

I might just get him this one:

I love that he would be interested in baseball. It will train his eye and hand coordination movement, teach him the value of teamwork and sportsmanship and it is not much of a contact sport for me to be worried so much. Baseball equipment are also not that expensive, considering they have equipment specifically for kids – Kids Sports Inc has a variety of quality equipment that not only will interest the kids but give them the chance to play. For kids six year old and under, batting tees made of plastic would be safer.
