Batter up





Today is the last day before some of my family members start tricking back home after spending a week in Boca Grande, so we had to have our traditional soft ball game. For the first time, we actually got to have it on a real baseball diamond.

Since we were all nursing hang overs, we decided to have it late in the afternoon. It was perfect weather for it — a gray sky and cool breeze.

We had our share of exciting moments. Terry and mom impressed me with some of the catches they made. And of course, there was plenty of trash talk.

The game ended when a thick, black cloud rolled in within about five minutes. It was a little reminiscent of the movie Armageddon, when the aliens arrived. It's pouring rain still, but we're inside having dinner that Amanda, my cousin Melissa and I prepared.

Lesson learned: I can bat, but I can't throw.
