SOFTBALL

Well, for the second week in a row, Mother Nature preempted our softball game with rain showers. I'm not disappointed. With this respite, I've again made up my mind to start working out, to groove my swing, to get my throwing arm in shape, to run five miles each day and to lose 35 pounds by next Friday so that I can fit into my uniform. Wow, I have a busy week ahead of me.

Here's something else Mother Nature did. Last year's drought took our 50 foot, short needle evergreen. So sad.
