Misc. Notes While Waiting for my Printer to Finish

• First Fall baseball game of the year was today. Fall Ball's a little different than the Spring Cal Ripken season: there are 2 teams (and only 2 teams), they play each other every week. The point isn't to get to the top of the standings, but to improve skills. These are the kids who are out there because they love the game and want to get better--a real pleasure to watch. No machines doing the pitching--it's kids. First time a lot of these players had faced a pitched ball period--much less one from something as inaccurate as an 7 year old with a killer fastball. BTW, I'm describing the starting pitcher for Frodo & Sam's team. The kid blew me away! Frodo's improved a lot over the summer, not sure how. Sam was in there trying his best. Hard when all the pitches are six inches above your head. He'll get there tho...
• Oh yeah, they won by one run. Last inning of the game--finally, finally one kid gets across the plate. There was a total of 3 good defensive plays (2 from our team). But oy vey! Am hoping these guys improve a lot...and quick.
• Would've been a good idea for me to have thought of sunscreen, or, y'know...a baseball cap. 2.5 hrs in the sun = red scalp. Gonna be fun to shave in the morning.
• I think it would be very fun to speak like an Aaron Sorkin character for a day.
• Gonna pass post 900 this week (D.V.). Hit 805 at GA in June. Have had a busy summer 'round here.
• Zowie! My Totino's Pizza Rolls have apparently been exposed to gamma radiation (and have been made angry, wonder if I'll like them when they're angry). They're bleepin' huge! Pizza Rolls are a late-night studying staple food for me, haven't had any since May. How long have they been jumbo-sized?
