Sports are back!

Not a whole lot to blog about these days with stay-at-home life, but I'm really excited for sports to be back!

Last week, we got the MLB back and it was really interesting watching games with no fans in the stands.  I like how each stadium is using sounds from "MLB the Show" to add cheering and audience noise to bring back the experience for the players and those watching on TV, but of course it's not the same.  It's gonna be interesting to see what happens to teams that get hit hard with a heavy dose of Covid (like the Miami Marlins for example), but I feel like this entire year needs to be flexible if we're to enjoy and get back to some kind of humanity.

The NBA is starting back up tonight, so that's super exciting!  I've seen highlights from life in the NBA bubble and a few scrimmages.  Again, things just feel different without fans...almost as if the games aren't as "important" when in fact they are.  Either, way I'm just happy to have sports to watch again. I can only watch so much Hulu and Twitch. :D

Speaking of Hulu, I spent the last month watching Dragon Ball Super and it's sooooo good.  I loved the stories and development of characters outside of the usual main Saiyans (Goku and Vegeta) and I couldn't stop watching.  It was hard to just watch 1 episode at a time, I'd usually end up watching 2 or 3 at a time haha.

I did make it out for a round of golf and I shot decently considering I haven't played since February.  Not saying much because I still shot about a double-bogey per hole, but it was fun (and exhausting) to be out there once again. :)

Okay, well unfortunately that's about all the updates I have for now.  Still working from home, working out from home, playing video games, and Twitching.  Have a good month of August and I hope everyone continues staying safe so that we can get back to a normal life sooner than later!
