Indeed. No pressure here at all. And nature loves us. Hence we are the exception what proves the rule that nature abhores a vacuum. Or something. -
All i knew hithertofore regarding Stillwater i learned from a Coen Brother movie: "Stillwaters run deep, Chief."

My landlord is doing the next best thing to remodelling for me: new windows. It is apparently a 2 day job. It is more like remodelling than you might think, as i had to clear out room around all the windows. I didn't really start doing that until i got up this morning, but at least i thought about it ahead of time... The fresh air tonight will be a relief! Oh, and i found my softball jersey. They shouldn't give me a hard time tomorrow. And maybe this time i'll get on base!

Brought a sousaphone... That good enough?

Looks like slept through a good game. Rolling over and sleeping another few hours. Said i'd be up 6ish to be in a parade some 2 hours away...

Aren't you glad we didn't draw it out? One of the first lessons of college life as i understand it is mandatory=optional.
-
Alas, i would not be prepared if gravity reversed itself...
-
Sano the Just? Just Sano to nickname... I will think upon it.

Positional flexibility. RB should be proud.
-
9! is a kinda large number, last time i checked. But yup. We can come back. The trick of course to scoring many runs is just not to get out.

I like where this is going...
-
And why am i eating it?
-
Danny Valencia? Now that's a name i have not heard in a long time...
-
Pssst. Pipe down. The game has started...
-
Oh... Sorry. I should have been more specific. *My softball* game has been called due to rain. My 0-fer start to the season (hereafter referred to as my slump) shall remain intact.

Hot dogs are all good, and everything sounds tasty. I get a perverse joy from how runny peanutbutter gets on a hot dog. My dad didn't like hot dogs. Nor did he like mustard. Bu apparently one day he was particularly hungry and tried them together, and lo and behold, they were good together. So hopefully i learned from his example to have what is commonly termed "an open mind."

College sports team work-out one Saturday morning was a relay race up the tallest building on campus. Only time going up counted in race, so we could take our time going down. I being a hiker at heart finished earlier than most. After my final ascention, i pushed the button for the elvator at the top with no one else around waiting. I then had a change of heart, decided i wanted to go down stairs to warm down as it were, pushed the button on that floor, had a change of heart, went down another floor, and pushed the button. You might notice a patten, and so did i, repeatig it until i got to the second floor which was a sort of lobby with someone working a front desk. Feeling a wee bit awkward, i decided this was the time to actually wait for the elevator. It came, and i got in an empty elevator and decended to the basement. The door opened in the basement and i got off to the jocular welcome of my teammates who kindly explained to me that they had all piled in after finishing their race at the top, and then rode the elevator down, which proceeded to open at every floor until about the 4th, where apparently another of the two elevators heeded my summons more quickly. I think undue credit was given to me at that point for cleverness.

Game called on account of rain. No breakin out of my slump today...
-
Oh yeah... I got an elevator story to share if anyone wants to hear it... er read it, i mean.
-
Maybe you didn't hit it quite right?
-
0 for 7 or so. Have yet to get a hit. Closest i come so far was the first swing where the 3rd baseman had to dive for it. Scored a run pinchrunning though. And it might be fewer at bats than i recall as one pop fly might have counted as a sac fly. I am making Buxton's early season woes look good...

Evidentally you have never tried a Twinkie Wiener Sandwich... ("Tell him about the Twinkie") https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z-_FO9p8Xdg

Hope Edward McMichael also makes it to Green Bay. Tuesday softball game is looking iffy due to local weather...

I am not much of a Fast Ball Inside. They're liable to get turned on something fierce. Not that they don't have their place. But i like to think of myself as more of a Knuckler. But i see the connection. Don't want to get my hopes up, but i might figure thigs out yet... My, but almost 2 hours to game time goes slowly...

Been a while since i wrote a jingle... Let's see what i got. Ya throw the fast ball in Ya throw the curveball out. Ya spike a slider in the dirt and ya strike the batter. Ya wave the catcher off while ignoring the dugout. That's when they take you out! Not my best, but it is kimda jinglish... Think they'll like it?
