Four years later…

Today is the fourth anniversary of the terrorist attacks. There were a lot of shows on TV talking about the attacks and why things failed, buildings, communications, etc. It was pretty interesting. I was going to get my boat moved around but I was having a hard time starting the four wheeler and I decided to move the boat by hand. Once I got it turned around I left it where it was so I could hook up to it easier to take it to get winterized.

I went around town to see if any places had batteries for sale for the Toyota. No place was open that sold auto parts so I gave up on it and went home and watched TV and just totally relaxed. As the time was getting closer to the softball games I got my stats sheets ready and got my uniform on.

I went to my office and was online for a little bit and chatted with Ryan. Then I headed to the field and started to warm up while we were there. We had twelve guys. I was hoping we would do better than we did. In game one we had a lead but people started to have a hard time hitting for the most part. Ben had a monster homerun that went off the roof of the apartment buildings past the outfield of field four. I was pitching. My knee is hurting right now. I think I hurt it in the pre-season game we had. So I could not pitch my normal way, but I seemed to do really well. I was not having a problem getting the ball across the plate, and I was even able to throw in my backspin on the ball.

We lost that game by one run, seven to eight. In the second game we were shut out. That may have been the first shut out in the history of the team. It really sucked. They were a good hitting team. But they hit at our pitcher and it made me mad. So I went up there with the idea that I was going to hit at their pitcher. The first pitch was mine! I swung really hard it was clear to the catcher and the pitcher, had I made contact it would have gone right at him. The catcher yelled out to him, “your heart beating fast after that one?”

I found out the first radio show is tomorrow and my partner will not be able to be there so I had to get the show ready and do it by myself tomorrow.

Ryan and I went to Cougar Country and got some dinner. I was also on call for the rest of the day. It was quiet. We did not get any calls. I hung out at Ryan’s house. We watched the season premieres of the Sunday night Fox shows. Then I headed to my office.
