yes, a meatball parm sub

and tonight i am pondering going out with rasputin and precious to wherever they are going even though it is sunday night and i really should get out of the habit of going out on sunday nights (and spending money when i really do not have to) and yet, i miss the only resemblance of family i have around here (which is why i asked precious if she wanted to come along to the movie yesterday with the meetup group) and the only nights i can see raspy is sunday or monday and i'll be playing softball mondays starting next week so...

i wonder where they will pick... i wonder how late it will be... i wonder whether i will eat a salad or a treat (since this is not going to be my norm until i drop back under 180 pounds. so there (and i stick my tongue out in my general direction... actually, am i sticking my tongue out at my taste buds?... think about that :)

life is a wonderful experience and then you die... sure, it's painful, it's scary at times, it's brutally challenging at times, but if you learn to enjoy the roller coaster as i did when i was too young to not enjoy it, you'll understand what i mean...

meanwhile, elsewhere in thereal, we lost 16-14 to the unbeaten team who only gave up one run in the previous five games they played... i think that makes us 3-3, but this was the only game we really lost because we just gave away the other games to lesser teams... we were so close, constantly coming back because our outfielders just did not have the skills to handle good hitters (and they had great hitters, in fact, their hitters should so not be in the recreational division, but they are a new team and got away with it)... we play all six teams again, so we shall see if we learn...

morning practice for the thursday was long, two and a half hours, and the team only half showed up and the people who did show up were less than half-hearted about actually playing i'm not sure why people sign up to play a game and then either not show or show, but stand around lazy on the field... only four people showed up for the monday team practice and two were fifty minutes late... so much for softball enthusiasm...

i did not get to the thia festival as the morning practice ran too long and i took a line drive right to the left knee (moderate swelling, pain, and will probably be sore for a few days, but i was able to play the afternoon game as i did not let it tighten up and bought some stuff i am about to tell you about as soon as this parentheses closes) and stopped at sports authority to pick up the knew and calf pads i had been meaning to stop and pick up and a knee support helps... i also picked up an elbow support for the minor tennis elbow i am developing from all the pitching and that helped too... and then i finally went to sam's club and picked up the cases of drinks i habe been meaning to pick up so i no longer will spend $1.50 or more on each drink before games... usually i pick up a few, at least... so productive time instead of thia food festival...

lunch was a protein fruit drink, a product called naked that costs at least $3 for about eight ounces, but it very effective in keeping my muscles feeling good on days of a lot of exercise and is a very light and relatively low calorie lunch on games days... and that's today so far... how was yours? :)
