Just another lousy day in paradise today. It was cold and it was wet...wet snow that is. It even covered the ground for a short time this afternoon. Snowflakes will probably be in the air again tomorrow, but not as many as today. It will remain chilly through Tuesday, not even getting to 50 degrees, bit things should be getting a little warmer by the end of the week...maybe 60...woohoo!
The snowflakes go back to yesterday. After spending the morning at church, where the power went out with about 10 minutes left go in the service, Kay and I headed off to Taco Bell for a bite of lunch before the inaugural game of the St. John's Lutheran Church softball team. While we were dining on our $2 meal deals a sudden snow squall hit, lasting all of about 37 seconds. That was the big event of the day as after that only a few snow flurries and snow pellets were occasionally seen. As for the softball game, we fielded a team, and not only that but we held a 5-1 lead after 3 innings. Things went downhill from there, quite quickly and dramatically, and we wound up losing 18-7. I was a stalwart at first base...mainly because I just stood there due to difficulties with my left knee (but that is a whole different story)...although I was part of a pretty impressive double play. At the plate there was a fair amount of futility as well, with all three of my appearances ending in line drives hit directly at outfielders of the other team. After the game we stopped in to see my buddy Brady. He was doing a little angling in the swimming pool for dogfish. Lucy the black lab was swimming around trying to corral several plastic baseballs. Brady's luck wasn't much better than mine, as he got nary a hit. That's probably a good thing from Lucy's point of view.
