beautiful morning

while i feel sad that i might not be able to go with the team to washington dc to play in the softball world series and they have four pitchers to replace me already (heck, i hardly even pitch at practice anymore... or get any real workout cuz i don't play other positions and they don't do any specific pitcher practice other than letting the pitchers pitch batting practice so no fielding practice and minimal batting practice (two and a half hours, ten swings, two or three random ground balls and one fly ball and the fielding practice for the infield is at a slow fungo pace, not a game pace and the team lulls into that slow-down pace and, well, i don't think it's the best way to prepare and practice but the coach doesn't take my suggestions to make it more game speed so i stand around a lot)...

still, a beautiful morning and most of my ten swings were good swings and i'm working on getting more active and more teams to play with (next thursday there's a 4th of july tournament i was invited to as a pitcher in a new league i might join) and wednesday nights should start up again in a couple of weeks and friday nights should transition from one league to another more reliable and closer to home league and maybe i'll get another team going on another day or night and hopefully i will find a way to get to the world series after all even if jackson isn't going and i might hardly play...

the best news is that i threw the ball overhand today and the lesions and scars the injury and from atrophy and healing hurt as i worked them through but the sharp pains subsided as i continued pushing the arm (a sign that the lesions were breaking up) and the general ache (charlie horse) of pushing muscles that have not been pushed in months are felt like a healthy ache and no major pain (nothing sharp or biting) after the workout and only mild aching now so that's the best news, i might be throwing normally again in a few weeks or so if i just get back to working it out more regularly (stop being a lazy fool, fool!) and so... gonna continue to have softball fun on beautiful days... '

hopefully it won't rain out this afternoon and we will get a game in :)

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 :)
