another rainout

for the second straight week we are rained out for our late sunday league, so the playoffs are pushed back two more weeks cuz next week is easter sunday and there are no games cuz of the traditional egg hunts and crucifixion celebration... i wonder if humans are the only intelligent species that get dressed up fancy to celebrate death year after year... yeah, i wonder if humans are an intelligent species, you saw that coming if you know me at all... or have a decent grasp of logical reality and rational thought, but we are in the miniscule minority on that one...

so i am sitting here waiting for pasta to bake and most of me is on the patio listening to the rain (and storm sounds) in the woods out back and the ncaa is on somewhere in the background cuz it's the elite eight and almost the final four... and the end of the michigan state tennessee game looks like a heartbreaker for tennessee as they missed a free throw (which could have been two points at this point in the game as they are usually one and one) and then fouled michigan with 1.8 seconds left... i thought msu was going to win, but it's still a hard way to lose...

kind of like a walk-off home-run that costs us a spot in the championship game on thursday night... we had a one run lead with two outs and the monster power hitter guy who i got to pop up three previous times popped up to the moon and it just cleared the fence... power... anyway, we finished third... we almost had a hard loss today as the team was making error after error for the first two innings and gave away ten runs... maybe two of the runs would have scored without the errors, maybe... anyway, we were hitting like crap until the fourth when we crept back to 10-5 (actually, it took three innings to get the five runs)... in the fifth we made it 10-9 and then in the sixth we scored 19 runs and won 28-11... we played very conservative in the bottom of the sixth and gave them a run to be sure we got the three outs...

so it's time to eat and relax and get set for another very long work week, but today was all fun and beautifulness :)

hope yours was too :)
