Softball: Callipygian (The Anatomy of Triumph)
Dear People,
Congratz to all on last week’s resplendent 14-13 won-on-the-last-hit denouement, steeped as it was within the righteous parameters of appropriate karma and sport. No, my friends, I did not "know" that I had an aerobic rendezvous with destiny, and regardless, I’m certainly not going to talk up my own breathtaking heroism, for that’s just not my scene. Yet it is worth noting that as I desperately scurried from 3rd to home in the bottom of the 7th, I endured the full force of Frank’s spastic throw to the plate---that solid leather orb slamming fast and hard into the tender marbling of my lower left buttock.
I was not bitter, and in some ways it was even a curiously erotic experience. More importantly, though, I truly believe that it served as the galvanizing inspiration for my game-ending blast to right, proving once again that when searching for the metaphoric seat of a man’s pride and vengeance, you need go no further than his vital and squishy rumpage. And therefore, there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning….Raymond

Softball: Fast
Dear People,
There will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, but as of now, we are once again full. As always, feel free to contact me about late cancels, and just for the record, and before you turn bitter, be aware that a couple cherished regulars will be leaving in January, so more slots will soon be available for the hopelessly lagggard.
Please bring $2 for the field, which for this week only includes my heart-felt post-game colloquy on the role of grout, leather and castor oil in a disciplined program of spiritual renewal….Raymond 845-7552
PS: Hope this is obvious---please contact me ASAP if you ever have to bail after you commit.
