First practice as a Mauler

I worked late today because I had practice for my softball team over by the Woodland Park Zoo. I did not want to drive home and then go to the field so I just stayed at work.

I got to the field and got ready. We did some team warm ups and stretching. I was pitching well, hit the ball well, and fielded well. It felt good to do that. Before we got going with practice one of the coaches who plays in a higher division asked me if I was gay. He said everyone wants to know. I asked why he wanted to know. He said, oh, you are gay. I sort of shook my head but that was it.

Following practice several of us went to eat. We were in a Mexican food restaurant and they talked themselves out of thinking that I am gay. By the time we were done eating all of them though I was straight. I never confirmed that. I just let everyone think what they wanted to think.
