The season begins...

Today is April 13 and it is not a Friday, think goodness! This afternoon my middle school girls fast-pitch softball teams open their season. The A team will hop on the little yellow school bus and hit the road for a 25-minute drive, while the B team has its season opener at home. In about 12 hours, I hope to be home, back on my old laptop, reporting some good news. The girls have had only three weeks of practice under their belt (that's middle school for you), so ready or not here we go.

Softball Update: How sweet it is! A team gets it done with a 12-0 shutout -- called by the mercy-rule after five innings , while the B Team follows up with a surprising 30-10 victory in a two-hour marathon. A great start to the season!
