Baseball Begins, Again.

...As often happens, many things changed at work while I was on vacation. The short story: EZGo entered their busy season. Much more complicated than that, but I worked more last week than perhaps ever. Put in time the last two Saturday and Sundays as well.

...The Gulf Shores week was fun. Spent most of it with Lucy’s dad, which was great. Sat in on all the skit rehearsals, which was sometimes hilarious, sometimes frustrating. But the skit should be great in April. I was tasked with writing a couple of extra scenes while down there. Weather was mostly sunny, but chilly and windy. Going behind the scenes at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo was interesting...especially getting licked by the adult tiger.

...The lady I was riding home with had to leave much earlier than I’d expected, while another lady’s grandfather became deathly ill…so I missed the choir reunion. All the pictures looked great.

Will only missed two of four scheduled games, due to the rain. His foot was healing slowly anyway, with all the running on the beach he was doing. He played a game last Monday and was limping afterwards, but Saturday not so much.

...Saturday’s doubleheader was at Holy Spirit Catholic Church, at the corner of Northside Drive and Mt. Paran Road, in Buckhead/Sandy Springs. Batting third in the top of the first, Will slammed a line drive well over the 350 foot right-centerfield fence. Later he hit the base of the fence for a double. He played both games at shortstop, getting only three chances, which he handled.

...Holy Spirit Prep turned out to not be very good, only managing one unearned run in each game. The ONE base hit they got all day was an infield bloop the second-baseman dove for and missed. Had he played the ball on the bounce, he would’ve had an easy out at first. Crown won 13-1 and 18-1. Will scored five runs and knocked in five, more than anyone else. Great, fresh two dollar grilled burgers.

...Went back to The Bridge this past Friday night. It was quite crowded, and took a while. My taco salad wasn’t that great.

...This is the email I'd normally write and send from work. But since work has been so busy, I wrote it at home, so I went ahead and posted it here first...instead of later. Don't know why I can't space between paragraphs all of a sudden. Has something to do with the new laptop.
