Yay! We won both softball games today!

I'm getting old. I seem to have a lasting twinge in my right calf that activates whenever I start running. It's there even when I stretch beforehand. I think the only way to heal it is to rest it, and there's no way I'm gonna not play softball for a few weeks.

I enjoy it too much.

"Tell me where is Fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?

Reply, reply.

It is engender’d in the eyes,
With gazing fed; and Fancy dies
In the cradle, where it lies.

Ding, dong, bell."

--William Shakespeare
The Merchant of Venice

Last night, my friends Rick, Pete and I went to see David Sedaris at the Cobb Energy Centre. The tickets were a birthday present to each of them from me.

The man was friggin' hilarious.

Rough weekend.

Didn't win a game in the tournament. Really didn't come close.

New guys are somewhat discouraged. I hope it doesn't last.

This may be a long season.

Here's hoping it's not.

I'm headed home in a few.
