Softball Update

Well, we have our Sunday roster complete (12 total people) and I should have dues and signatures in hand on Sunday. The second team is coming along well, and we now have 4 men committed to play along with 3 women -- that's knocking on the door to a second squad, folks!

In related softball news, it appears that we'll be playing in the "midnight madness tournament" after all, and I'm actually none too excited about it. For one, the games are scheduled late at night (and all night) and, second, we'll be playing in Petersburg of all places.

That's right, folks. Petersburg, VA. What's that?

Isn't our league based in Chesterfield?

Didn't we request specifically to play in Chesterfield?

Yes and yes. Did the organizer listen? Nope. So, we'll be driving way to our south to play.

To begin with, I'm not particularly comfortable with Petersburg during the day but after dark? Good grief. That, there's nothing a like a long drive home in the middle of the night/morning when you're completely exhausted.

Oh well. Maybe next year we'll remember not to sign up for this. (Incidentally, that's precisely what we said last year too).

Anyway, come out and see us play, if you're awake or if you want to provide covering fire. We'll be the team in the yellow shirts and kevlar body armor.
