Coaching little league baseball

I got the LPX XML validator working correctly, so I started in on the console application that will check the date on a file and E-mail our network admin if it is wrong. I got most of it written, but at four o’clock PM I had to head out for a baseball game.

I went to the baseball field. I helped to line the field first. Then I worked with the boys. I did grounders to the second baseman who would throw it to first. But these are all first graders so it is pretty hard to keep their attention. Like Jon said it is like herding cats.

The game started and I hung out in the outfield helping the kids stay focused and telling them where to throw the ball when a play happened. I also played first base coach. It is funny these kids have such a different level of experience and ability.

When the game was complete I went home and got some dinner. I watched House and I tried to watch Deadwood, but I was so tired I kept dozing off. I finally decided to call it a night and went to bed.
