Survivor

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning I took Evan to school.  It was fairly uneventful.

Rachel had an appointment in Dallas with her oncologist.  Everything looks good.  She is supposed to have another appointment in 4 months and after that, she'll only need to go every 6 months.

Meanwhile, Lynn and Lenny took Noah to synagogue for Sukkot and he went inside a Sukkah and had grape juice and challah.

When I picked Evan up from school, he was in a good mood. He was generally pretty good while I finished working.

For dinner, we had pasta.

After dinner, Evan had his baseball practice.  His practice goes from 6:30 to 8:30.  The first hour is dedicated to hitting.  They are in the batting cages.  The second hour is dedicated to fielding.  At the end of the first hour, they normally have a game called survivor.  Each kid, in turn, gets in the cage and gets one pitch.  If they hit it, they're still in, if they miss it they are out.  They keep going until one kid is left.  Since there are 4 8-year-olds on the team, normally, it's one of those kids that win the game.  But today, Evan was able to win it.  It came down to Evan and one of the 8-year-olds.  They kept going around and around.  Finally the coach made it tougher.  He said they had to hit what appeared to be a fair ball.  If they hit it foul, they were out.  Evan came through.  He was very excited.  All-in-all he had a very good practice.

He was cranky on the way home.  It was late. He's asleep now.

Until next time...
