Only One Today

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

This morning, Evan and I left the house around 7am to go to his baseball game.  We stopped at Donut Taco Palace I on the way out.

It was cold when we got to the fields, but it warmed up considerably during the game. Unfortunately, Evan's team lost and did not advance.  It was, however, a terrific baseball game.  The score through three innings was 1-0, Marauders.  I've never seen such good defense played by both teams when the teams are made up of 7- and 8-year-olds.  It was terrific.  The other team was from San Antonio.  After one out in the top of the 4th, Evan came up to bat and turned hard on an inside pitch.  It went right down the left field line all the way to the corner.  It started a rally where the Marauders scored 4 runs to go ahead 5-0.  Unfortunately, the other team scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 4th.  After the Marauders tied it up in the top of the 5th, the other team scored 6 runs in the bottom of the fifth.  The Marauders had one more chance in the top of the 6th but came up short.  Evan played catcher most of the game.  In the bottom of the fifth he made a great play.  He got a throw home with a kid coming from third.  Instinctively, he blocked the plate and applied a hard tag.  Evan really saved a run there.

After the game we came home.  Rachel had picked up Zayde.  I took a shower and then we went to Waterloo Ice House for lunch.

After lunch, I had a meeting.

Then, Evan, Zayde, Rachel and I went into the cul-de-sac.  Evan and Nathan played basketball against me.

When the boys had enough we came back home and Nathan and Noah played Wii.

I grilled outside and we ate outside on the porch for the first time.

On the way to drop Zayde off at home, we stopped at TCBY.

The boys are now in bed.

Until next time...
