Posted Rules at Pools are for Everyone

My health club’s outdoor pool’s hot tub has a new sign:

“No children under 12 allowed in the hot tub…this includes dangling feet and dipping toes!”
It’s very large and placed in front of the entrance to the hot tub at the stairs. Not only can you not miss it, you can’t miss reading it – the letters are huge and neatly written.

Pedroia to fans: thanks for the vote but family has to come first!

First Pedroia missed a regular season game , now he’s bowing out of the All Star game. Why? Because family is sometimes more important than baseball.

Pedroia’s statement tells the entire story. From the statement, it’s obvious that, while disappointed he won’t be able to play, family is more important and that he has the full support of the Red Sox organization.

If Pedroia can miss a ball game, so can your kids!

This week Dustin Pedroia, the 09 AL MVP, was MIA from the roster of the Boston Red Sox Vs. Oakland games because of a “family matter”. It turns out his wife, Kelli, is expecting their first child and went into preterm labor at 7 months. With the blessing of his team and manager, Terry Francona, Petroia spent the night in the hospital with his wife.
