So much for me getting to bed earlier and not staying up to 2. Watching the radar and waiting for the severe thunderboomers to hit. Not liking the hail potential. Some reports of softball size hail in the storm. **** that ****.

Why the heck do restaurants try to add the tax to the total when listing the auto gratuity?
The darn tax IS NOT the service I'm tipping for.

Glad I was still awake. Being asleep and waking up for this would have been a bit disconcerting. Lot of big wind and heavy ass rain but only small hail.

Well LilWxs team keeps finding ways to win and is on to the semifinal in the morning. He even recorded his first official hits of the season today. Was happy to get our two games done by 2 and back to the hotel in the a/c. He has noticed that he isn’t playing in the field much right now (and when he does it is right field) so we will have the conversation with him.

I was right field. It’s a needed position.

A gift from another Little League right fielder...


People forget that Jason Alexander is an accomplished broadway song and dance guy.

My wife and I took a walk around 6:30 this morning. We saw about 6-8 hot air balloons go over us just above the tree line in Urbandale. Not sure what was going on this morning or where they were landing, but it was a cool sight to see.

I've known the PP&M version for years. This one is good too; he has a wonderful voice. I just wondered if you realized you were posting the same song? :D

When I was in Little League I didn't really know the game - never watched it and was just learning to play it. I didn't even know I was put in RF to hide me. Didn't know there was a hierarchy in the OF.

I was blissfully ignorant.
