IM Softball Championship

April 25th, 2006

Tonight was the night I have been waiting for a long time for. But I had to get through the day before we got there. I woke up around five hours after getting to sleep. I worked hard on my Sollen stuff. I am right at the end of the tunnel. I wanted to finish it up. There were a lot of, not hard work, but tedious work. It was a matter of going in and connecting all the fields and values and variables between the UI, the codebehind files, the Sproc, and the DB. Back and forth it has to work. Plus transforming the data as it goes around. I got that completed around one in the afternoon.

I had taken a short break around eleven-thirty in the morning for a car accident. But no one else came down so I ended up only doing stand by time. I got some lunch on the way back from the Deuce to my office. I knew I was almost done. There was nothing stopping me I was just working hard. No distractions. Finally I get it done, check in my final work and close the feature.

Ryan and I started to talk about softball for tonight. My mind was going a mile a minute at that point. I could not really concentrate on any one thing. I decided to turn on some Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon and laydown for a little bit. It was nice and relaxing. Just what I needed. I got back up and I was back to normal mode.

We were going to meet up and practice some softball around six-forty-five at the Valley Road Fields and then go to the game. As I was waiting for that to come about we got a fire alarm in Thompson hall. I went to the station and Brian decided to go with me. We took Engine Thirty-Three to the call. It was a nice day for a drive. While on scene the guys were in the attic and said for all units to come up and take a look at where the smoke detector was. It was a maze of there. Brian and I went up there. Sure enough it was. You had to go up and down ladders through doorways three feet high, around walls under ducts. It was crazy.

I got done with that around six o’clock and I went to the office and got ready for softball. I got my uniform on and headed to the Valley Road Playfields. We did some hitting practice. We were only there for about twenty minutes — enough time to get through the people who showed up.

We got to the South Fairway fields into for our game. Don’t Care is our opponent. They are a very good team who have not lost a game yet. We had to be on our A-game. We started off well. And early on had a small two-run lead. But as soon as we got it, they went to work, coupled with several errors, cost us eight-runs. So we were down by six. After that it is like the team gave up a little bit. We could not hit the ball and ended up losing the game. We are the number two team in the competitive league this year! So we are happy about that.

Ryan and I went to Cougar Country for dinner. We were there for an hour talking about the game and my letter to the editor. I told him about the E-mail I sent to a guy in a frat who responded to my letter.

Afterwards I went to Zeppoz and saw Dan, Michele, and Ron. Michael B was there. We was in a bowling tournament that the others were in, but they has already been knocked out. Michael-B won the whole thing. So he won two-hundred and fifty bucks.

After that was done I went home and relaxed for a while before going to bed.
