Today is the last day this year that Teresa and I will be playing softball. Our tournament is this chilly evening. Everybody plays tonight. Teams play until they lose a game. Unfortunately I don’t think we will make it through many games, unless something amazing happens. Our record is not fantastic, but then we did just really join the team in order to get out of the house and to do something physical. Winning is always a good thing, but being out on the baseball field when it is this cold outside is crazy. Currently it is 35ºF here, in Texas! I never would have thought. Now if only we would get some snow.
So no more softball after this evening, at least until the Spring, or Summer. The league starts up again, and I think we are going to join up again. I know I need to. I have been a homebody, never leaving the house, eating too many Bon-Bon’s, watching too many Soaps, wearing the same clothes day after day until Teresa makes me change them. Okay, things aren’t that bad, but I go out of the house very little it feels like. 2010 will help to change that. My job at Biltmore ends the end of this year, and I need to look for work. I am thinking of getting some sort of part time gig where I need to deal with people. This way I can get out of the house, and have actual interactions with real people…. Whoah, I am way off topic. Softball is the topic of this post. I need to find some warm clothes for the game tonight. If, by chance, we do end up doing good, we could be playing for several hours in a row and being in left field can be a lonely and cold position some times.
Go team!
Left field may be lonely but if it’s bottom of the ninth with two outs, your team is up by one and someone hits a high fly out to left field, just think of the glory that could be yours if you make that catch! It’ll all be worth it.
Yeah, I don’t mind left field at all. Though when it is slow, it is slow.
Spring training is right around the corner!
It is. There is a Spring season of softball, as well as another try for a kickball league. Teresa and I will hopefully be doing both. Kickball isn’t a given, it doesn’t seem to be as popular as softball for some reason.
