and day four

alas, the stress and strain of playing with just ten players (no rest at all), the cumulative age of the team (over 40), waiting around too long, and crappy fields caught up with us as we finally lost a game to the #22 seed (who ultimate finished fifth overall, one spot ahead of us) in extra innings 10-13... we should have won that game, but i gave it away giving them pitches to hit in extra innings and the defense behind me did not pick me up making a few errors... worst of all was the #1, 2, and 3 batters failed (me being #3) and a cruel end with the last out at 3rd base as the coach tried to push the runner to third, a very foolish move considering we needed 3 runs to tie... alas, the amazing streak was done, but we came back and won the next game against the #2 seed 13-7 to move us to play on the final day... out of the 54 teams, only eight stay alive to play on the final day and we were one of the eight... unfortunately we didn't show up saturday morning... but out of all the orlando teams that qualified for the world series this year, we were the only ones to make it to championship saturday, limping more and more all the way...

out to dinner with the series roommate (since everybody else was either broke or downtown at clubs drinking heavily {not that the series roommate didn't} and nobody else was a foodie) at ruth cris, a high-end steak place (spent $150 with tip... roommate spent more cuz he had a lot of alcohol including a $40 glass of cabernet... he said it was wonderful) and i had a lobster appetizer, then lobster bisque, then a 16 ounce ribeye with lobster mac n cheese and asparagus, then a decadent chocolate dessert... overstuffed, but loving every minute of it...

narf :)

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 :)

WORK ... JOB ... MUSIC ... LOVE ... SOFTBALL ... KA ... 42 ... LOL ... LAM ... LAA ... ... ...
