Softball: Your After-the-Bird Sport
Dear People,
In a nail-biting return to our newly-seeded homeland, my team beat Jonny’s, 12-11, proving once again that rare is the advantage when leadership is feckless. Still, victory was not assured until the final hit of the game—a towering sacrifice fly that ultimately served as a merciless coup de gras, and I’m not saying that just because I like to mold disparate Indoeuropean tongues into oxymoronic drivel.
The point is that while the grasses of Cordonices are now as lush, sensual and verdant as I’ve ever seen them, our non-herbal terrain remains somewhat problematic. Thus, for the record, I did call Berkeley Parks and Rec on Monday to let them know that for our $57 rental fee, we would prefer an infield that doesn’t so closely resemble the stark and arid sand dunes of Southeastern Yemen.
In any case, I will soon be in a distant land to celebrate Thanksgiving with various members of my extended family, nearly all of whom add urgency to the raging debate between proponents of psychopharmaceuticals and defenders of traditional therapy. Yet for my own fragile sanity, I simply can’t bring myself to let you feast on endless cornucopias of turkey, stuffin’ and bok choy with hoisin sauce without the possibility of aerobic release, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning….Raymond

Softball: The Post-Turkey Rush to Burn off Calories
Dear People,
Curiously, this week’s game is already full. Please bring $3 for the field, and if you have to cancel, please let me know asap, since I already have a pretty big waitlist. See ya at Codornices, this Sunday at 11…Ray
