Softball: The Perils of Leadership in Stormy Times
Dear People,
I know what you’re thinking; You’re thinking "My God, for how many consecutive weeks are you going to torment us with that frisky little sprachgefuhl of yours, seducing us with mythical hibernal games that almost certainly can’t be played, much less guaranteed?" I understand your bitterness, and frankly, if the community so demands, I am prepared to immediately resign and return to my beloved childhood dacha in suburban Vladivostok (behind the VladiMall parking lot, across from Ivan’s Cod & Borscht Shop).
In the meantime, I have a cardiovascular charge to meet, and if that means risking grave emotional turmoil for even the mere possibility of some long overdue aerobic release, then so be it. You, of course, are welcome to follow my lead, or if you prefer, you can sit there and cower in the paralysis of your own pitiful hydrophobic abulia. Personally, I see a brand new year a’comin, with a hot, sensual ball of cloudless solar love to welcome it in, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11AM, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning….Ray

Softball: Predictions
Dear People,
First things first; I think we can all agree that meteorologists are a bunch of undermedicated clinical depressives who don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about, so stop sniveling. I now believe with every fiber of my being that a deeply misunderstood low pressure front off the coast of Idaho will assure us dry sunny climes between midday Saturday and Sunday afternoon, and even better for you, there are still three slots for that morning’s 11AM game at Codornices.

Softball: A Confluence of Horrors ;-(
Sunday Morning 9:30AM
Dear People,
Given that the thoroughly soaked Codornices outfield is borderline playable at best, AND that a thick and vile layer of gray, altostratus clouds is about to dump its softball-hating load, AND that just walking outside triggers the most bracing case of shrinkage that I’ve had in months, I have no choice but to cancel today’s game.
Happy Stupid New Year. Patience (again)….Raymond
