mounds of frustration

but still much fun... the title refers to softball, pun intended, and we split the double header winning the first game 14-7 and losing the second game 9-8... i did well, walked a few, went 3-4 in the first game and 3-3 in the second... and in the bottom of the last inning i was on second base (the tying run as we were down 9-8) with one out and the top of the lineup coming up and there's the frustration, we couldn't score... we made too many errors, did not throw the ball in from the outfield fast enough, and so, we split the double header... the team record is 6-7, so we need to win next week to break even at .500... next week we play the team that scores the most runs, plays the best defense, has a 9-2 record and is tied for first place... we lost to them something like 17-16 last time we played them... the team we lost to today was tied for first place, but lost their second game to the other team tied (there was a three way tie for first place going into today) so they are 8-3 in second place and the team that beat them is 9-2 tied for first... we have a lot of learning to do...

they are cool people and it was still much fun...

home now, it's a gumbo soup (trying not to burn the roof of my mouth cuz it's seriously hot) for dinner, three different soups (onion, veggie, and cream of mushroom) with fat free cream cheese and scallops, shrimp, and a couple of cut up hot dogs since i have no sausage in the house... and cheddar goldfish, the extreme kind, of course (actually, two kinds, the baby kind as well, cuz you just have to know all the details)... yum, in spite of the animal flesh (i am hearing vegetarian voices lately, but i am not a veggie for now... i eat a whole lot less than the average usa american according to stats, but i still eat animals)... scallops and potatoes look very much alike in a thick creamy soup... not scalloped potatoes, they are different...

so that's today and i hope yours was fun and delicious too :)

musical distractions

If people had visible signs or meters that told something about them, what would you want it to tell you?

dumb poll (above), smart responders

all the previous poll votes were somehow erased, so, nevermind... ironically or coincidentally or whatever, the results were very close in practical numbers to the results above shown with just three votes, if you understand the mathematics behind that extrapolative reasoning... i will probably remove the poll at some point... it is a ridiculously useless feature...

SEARCH ME

the thing is, with my tendency to babble and meander and whine and allow distraction to take the lead more often than not, even in this blog that sort of meant to merge brevity with focus like some bloggers do, searching for key words does not always lead to specific information about the subject of that key word... but... here is a start at an easy way to search for key words in this blog... use the search box at the top of the blog to search for words not listed here... if ya wanna, that is... and feel free to suggest words to add to this search shortcut section... click on the words below :)
