Thursday sucked. Make no bones about it, it was one of the worst days of my life.

I didn't sleep Wednesday night because our team wasn't playing good baseball and was kept up all day Thursday because of what I had witnessed in that stairwell.

Friday, I promised Amanda I would take care of the kids. School is almost out and I make an effort, whenever I'm home, to cart them all to school. It's only two stops right now. The oldest two go to the junior high and the next two both go to an elementary school nearby.

It's good therapy for me and the kids love the change of pace.

Finally, thanks to the normalcy of being home and around the kids, I was able to get some sleep before Friday's big game.

But not much.

About 2 p.m., I got a call from the newspaper under the guise of getting my weekly column done. Of course, the real purpose of the call was to find out who all had been involved with the police following the murder in our hotel. I didn't say much and even asked if we couldn't scratch the Q&A with the coach -- for the time being anyway. The questions have been dull and I had already gotten in trouble with one of my players for something I said.

The newspaper editor agreed. We decided that laying low right now was the best thing to do.

At least something went right today.
