The fog rolls in and the fog rolls out. And there are bunch of things that happen with people under those wisps of coolant.
It’s nice to be back to my part-time schedule at work. I was covering hours for someone who had to take some time off. I was coming in 5 days a week for a little bit.
I’m happy to do it. When your employer is great about time off (softball tournaments and last-second trips to Europe), then yeah, you need me to cover? I’m there.
Our softball season ended in a loss. We dropped an up-and-down seesaw of a game to a pretty good team. It was a bit of a rebuilding year for us. We have some new players that we are working in, and this takes time and practice.
We decided early in the season not to go for the World Series berth, and it was the right call to make. We’re still working things out, roster-wise. Most of the guys were not interested in going to Dallas for it. I’m going to lobby hard next season for Minneapolis. I haven’t been there since the 2007 North Star Classic.
The end of the season doesn’t mean zero softball. There are still tournaments out there. We will be back to Seattle for the Emerald City Classic. I’m also trying to rally some interest in NYC’s Gotham Classic in October.
It was easy to get a full roster going to Seattle. There always a bunch of softball players that want to do that one. I’ve got more than enough players. I like having a fail-safe roster for those last cancel folks. This current roster should be able to withstand, the last second withdrawal.
We had a slight heatwave in San Francisco. It lasted about 3 days with Wednesday actually reaching 92 degrees. I was melting but somehow resisted carrying our mobile air conditioning unit up the stairs. It’s heavy. The fog ultimately rewarded my patience.
