Let's Just Call it an Update...

Well, it seems as if the fun over here never stops. Saturday morning normally breeds a new day, a chance to see the wonderful coastlines soaked in sun and much more candy than the average eyes need to see. This Saturday saw all of the above, although at a much earlier time of day than would be considered healthy or normal. The usual attendands were spouting their ritual lines of "No Dumbshit Questions" and the like, and the 6 a.m. line was a bit slower moving this season than even I would like, we eventually made the run through the Gauntlet, got the business end of the annual beach game taken care of and followed it up with monster breakfast burritos and afternoon games of cards. Transitioning into the crew taking over part of the foosball capital and early to bed for Mom's day. Then this weekender got interesting...

It seems that we have had our first major casualty of the '05 season. It all kicked off with the inevitable shellacking of the Pads in St. Louis, but that was not to be unexpected. Most of the guys got the day off when this thing got out of control early and seeing as how the guys have it rolling right now, I couldn't have cared less that we sent this one in early. Some went out to partake in the daily games that include sand, and bikini hunting, while others tried to quell this flu like death mucus monster that had invaded our skulls.

This weekend should bring some good homestand baseballing with the fish in town. Pitching will be at a premium in our pitcher friendly park and I think there may even be some tickets in my future for a Friday night under the lights in the Gaslamp. Saturday brings Block Party fun, complete with a home base that will be more than adequately stocked with the necessary requirements and hopefully some happy sunshine will cooperate and make the clothing very optional for the bikini wearers in the crew. Good food, good fun, good coldness and good bands all within a two block radius of the homestead. All are invited and welcome... if more details are necessary, you should know how by now to get a hold of me.

Missed the game tonight, hopefully we schooled the opposing squad soundly, if not, well, there is always tomorrow...
