softball, almost

the first day in columbus after landing was picking up the two guys who were supposed to share expenses with me (looks like i am gonna spend $320 on the hotel and $500 or so on the rental including gas, but who's complaining?... oh yeah, that would be me) and then heading to the hotel which was a disaster to then it was finding another hotel which was a serious compromise and then head to the world series opening ceremony which was a hot damp mess as the team managers who asked me to pitch for them didn't show so we didn't have the t-shirts the league provides to carry out the time honored tradition of trading t-shirts with players from other cities so instead we were 'guests' and outsiders crashing the party and that just compounded the already solitary experience i find in this league, even with my own ever-changing team, which was not as much fun as a barrel of monkeys (or monkees, for that matter), but i still enjoyed wandering around the festive atmosphere of the ceremonies and i ate from food trucks and listened to musicians (ty hearndon appeared to be the headliner, or at least the last act) and made it a carnival of one as i tend to do in this life...

then one guy who was supposed to share expenses took off with another group and in the morning he was asking us to bring his stuff to the field so he could play and by the afternoon he was taking his stuff out of my car and unofficially moving out, but we are already skipping to tomorrow so nevermind until then... two of us headed back to the hotel and went to bed... fun fun fun, no t-bird...
