Pop-up Smurf does BP

Within hours of going to bed my phone rings. I look at the clock it says it is just after seven thirty am. I answer it, it was Whitcom. They said Pete wants me to respond to a death nearby Pullman. I looked at my clothing and my hair, and felt it would not be the best thing to show up with blue hair to a man's house that just died. So, I declined. Then I went back to bed and received four more phone calls in the next two hours. Needless to say I did not get a ton of sleep. So, I headed off to the Valley Road Playfields for practice. We had a pretty good turn out. We ran through some field and batting exercises. I was doing BP and I hit a few pop-ups in a row, and then Dan said look at that, it is Pop-up Smurf. We were done in time to go to the Sports Page Tavern to watch some of the football game. WSU was playing Notre Dame for the first time ever. I had a couple tubs of beer. The Cougs were kicking butt at half time and I headed to Colfax to get my boat. I then drove to Pullman to get Russell for boating. Dan was going to meet us down at Boyer. As I was pulling in Steve was there and his boat was in the water. I launched my boat and pulled the truck out. I was unable to get the boat started. It was acting like a dead battery or something. At Boyer we found that the Cougs lost in overtime by a field goal. That really sucked. I pulled my boat out of the water since it would not start and then I found Amber had a cut on the top of her toe. I put a four by four on it and some kling. She had that off in no time. I got home and put some more kling on. This time it lasted for a few hours. Finally I redressed her wound again, and I put a sock over it. It lasted all night long.
