A tactic of considerable power

"Oh crap. I forgot to study."

A welcome surprise this weekend as the first ever tournament for Hand Grenade resulted in a 5-1 record with a loss coming in the championship game for the Open B division. I could not have hoped for better out of a ragtag bunch of misfits that seemed like they would never get it together but ended up winning by using a trick play at the last minute. I seriously was so happy to be playing and to see things come together as well as they did was a huge relief.

Cass came with me over the weekend and we got to relax a bit at my brother's place. It was nice to have her with especially after a long day of trying to keep everything organized and still keep focused on my own play. She got to play a bit and destroyed a bunch of college freshmen. The bright sun in the cloudless sky could not dissuade them from removing their shirts and showing off their physique. It doesn't bother me too much that they stare at my girlfriend while she wreaks havoc on the field.

"The greatest trick Caleb's beard ever pulled was convincing the world that it didn't exist."

I heard Wicked Awesome's season came to an end over the weekend in less than glorious fashion but it matters not. This season was a resounding success on virtually all fronts. Save for a couple weeks in the middle when I was stressed out and not fun on the field this was the best season of softball of my entire life. I have my teammates to thank for that, each and every one of them.
