Softball: Discursive Musings on the Inscrutability of Nature
Dear People,
My team chopped up Pace's into tiny little pieces of aerobically underperforming mince meat, 21-13, and while I realize that's a harsh and even disconcerting image, I obviously must cleave to the path of narrative truth. In any case, the Pacemeister's roster lead off with the captain himself, followed by Matt Gober, Tony Mac and Jim McGuire---A finely-marbled quartet which packs so much intensive batting power that most pitchers would've frantically fled nude into the safety of the surrounding yak-laden tundra. Of course Alan Miller is our league's most seasoned hurler and a paragon of equanimity, and even though he initially seemed shaken by the sheer peril of his task (in all candor, I'm pretty sure he wasn't wearing scrotal-savin' cuppage), he never waivered, strayed or even disrobed. Thankfully.
To be sure, there are all kinds of courage, from facing down a veritable murderer's row of power-hitting monsters to risking the complete annihilation of all existence in the empirical pursuit of our cosmological essence. Yeah, this is leading somewhere. Indeed, just yesterday a team of kick-ass physicists announced that proton-smashing experiments at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva revealed distinct signs of the legendary Higgs Boson, that captivating theoretical particle that we now believe gives all matter its mass! (http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-57342044-264/cern-physicists-find-hint-of-higgs-boson/ ). If you must know, I get chills just thinking about how utterly teeny it must be.
The fact is I'm a huge fan of the Higgster and have been closely following the hunt for its existence for many years. Unfortunately though, I'm easily “confused” by the physical sciences, and truth be told, until last week I thought they were looking for the Higgs Bison. Admittedly, I never understood how a smelly overrated ox could explain the fundamental laws of physical reality, but now that I get what's what, I plan to up my game, connect the dots, and with a scholarly variation of Alan's fearless resolve, truly know the universe once and for all. And therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Raymond

Softball: Adieu (Though not Literally)
Dear People,
There will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, and as of now there are still four slots left.
