Softball: Quickly Before I Snooze

Dear People,

Congratz to all on last week’s stirring 19-15 sojourn into the bracing ether of renewed aerobic dignity. True, my own team "lost" for the 5th week in a row, but the real story was how we fought back from a 17-4 deficit with such stark grace and courage. Indeed, I still get teary-eyed when I think of our late-inning rally in broad ontological terms, for as you already know, the acrid embers of defeatism can never succumb to the intrinsic yearnings of the raw athletic heart. Sure, that goes without saying, but the point is that we really did almost win, and while it’s true that over the course of April my teams have been cumulatively outscored about 823-40, I now feel more vital, seasoned and ready to lead than at any time since the fragile blooming of my transformative pubescent years. And therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Raymond

A Somewhat Defensive PS: I know what you’re thinking; You’re thinking "Look, I’m on this list for a reason, and I don’t give a damn if he’s writing at 2AM and he’s tired and doesn’t have squat to say. I’m a human being, damn it, and I deserve to be nurtured and caressed, and one perfunctory paragraph does not an act of carresment make." I understand this, and the fact is, I am fully aware that if you want to jump list and hang out with the nude Sunday Morning twister group in the parking lot behind Chez Panisse, that’s your option. Personally though, I think they’re a bunch of pervos, and I can promise you that their organizer doesn’t send out emails with words like carressment and pubescent. Perhaps that’s not a deal breaker, but I think you see my point.

Dear People,

There will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, and as of now, there is just ONE slot left. Yep, one last tiny little chance to give aerobic tone and meaning to your otherwise totally worthless weekend.
