Angelus ,'Smile Time'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Thanks, y'all. I'm cautiously optimistic. They caught her cancer earlier than they did my dad's, and she's definitely doing better under the chemo. It's tiring her out physically, but it isn't affecting her mind like it did with Dad.
Back to packing....
I'm sorry Susan. Oof, what a rough month for Buffista parents.
Some of the kids aren't doing so great either.
Emmett's team won 18-8, beating Alameda again. Emmett went 3-5 with two doubles, and caught for three innings.
We've beaten Alameda four out of our last five meetings, and they're the best other team in our district. They're who beat us the one time in the district championships and who we faced in the finals.
But our team is just a juggernaut now. This game wasn't a slaughter because the ten run lead didn't happen until the last inning, but we won every game in this tournament by ten runs or more.
We've won our last two tournaments in a row, and the District, and the first tournament we played this summer.
Next year they'll have to set their sights higher to win Sectionals and try to go on to State because they're starting to lap the competition.
So that's just about it for Little League. We've got one tournament at the beginning of September that's just for fun, up in Manteca. It's a special complex that has miniature versions of classic baseball fields. Minature Fenway, Wrigley, Ebbets, Polo Grounds, Tiger Stadium. Cool!

Oh, that sounds really cool!
Go Emmett and team! Sounds like a great weekend of games.
~ma to Susan's mom and Susan and family too.
Oh, that sounds really cool!
It's like BaseballLand! It's expensive, of course.
And it's a Pony League tournament so we probably couldn't just waltz in there and win. (Different rules that we're less familar playing - like straight steals and lead offs etc.)
But it'd be fun making a catch up against the Little Green Monster.

Totally!
I've lived here five summers now, and I've never been inside Fenway. I need to fix that next summer, me thinks.

Gee, if only Nutty had some time off right now...
I bet Scola would come up and watch a game with you.
The problem with this summer has been time. I've been traveling a lot... And I leave again on Friday for 10 days.
Much ~ma to Susan and mom. This does seem to be an especially rough summer for Buffistas parents. That should stop. Now.
In good news, today, I had a good day at work, saw a guy in a tan utili-kilt on the way home - not a common site in this fairly small town - and was productive at home, completing:
I also had a fairly productive Sunday, and didn't turn on tv until 8, and didn't really watch much then. This is a huge deal for me, as I've spent most of the last year paralyzed by my horribly messy house. That is to say, yes, I do dishes, laundry, etc., but I've been unable to even chip away at the big stuff. This has gotten even worse this summer, since I've been sick so much of it and recuperating and exhausted much of the rest. I'm kind of proud of myself right now.
Granola and yogurt:
Another thing I did tonight: finished a really good book. I've been trying to push myself into reading more non-fiction, but this one was easy. It's called Carved in Sand, and it's all about midlife memory loss. I know that topic doesn't sound all that exciting, but the author was really good (laugh out loud funny, I kid you not) and the topic was interesting. And it was actually kind of hopeful and inspiring. I highly recommend it.
who the hell knows how men thinkUm. I thought this was documented. Isn't it sex every 4.7 minutes, and some stupid, useless info (sports, TV, movies, gadgets, etc) in the time between. :: removes tongue from cheek ::

omg VW! I lived in NH for two summers and saw 4 or 5 games... AND I"M A YANKEE FAN (o boy it wasn't smart wearing that cap... so I did it again :P )
There is still time left this season for you to go. I think the 1st base side is best, tho I do wonder what the seats on the wall would be like.
