Not quite done yet...

I know I said I was ready for softball to be over, and I am, but McBIC refuses today, and we advanced to the championship tonight with a solid win over the #2 seed, and then torched the #4 seed in the first championship game. I say first, because since we had a loss and they were 2-0, we have to play one more time on Thursday for all the marbles.

I have to say that, given the less than ideal amount of sleep I've been getting lately due to late-night Olympic coverage, the idea of having Thursday night free to nap was rather appealing, but my competetive nature is certainly looking forward to a chance to win it all at the highest levels of our church league (how high that actually is, I can't really say). I'd feel much better about it if we weren't missing a couple key guys on Thursday, and if I personally wasn't banged up after an unfortunate incident late in the game. There was a hard ground ball hit between me (at 2nd) and the 1st baseman. I was moving over to get it, probably could have gotten it, but he came too and got his glove on it, which tipped it right up into my right shoulder and knocked me off balance, so I went down and scraped up my right shin. So, I need to finish typing this and get some ice on it before I go to bed.

I really am looking forward to having the softball season out of the way for a while, so I can devote more time to reading and writing during the week, and hopefully re-up my posting frequency, both here and on Peanut Vendors.
