Softball with the fire department

Today was a big day. I was going to hang out with friends and play softball.

I got up and headed to Pullman for the softball game. It was the fire department versus the city maintenance workers. I started at second base and was hitting fourth. I went four for five with two homeruns. My first at bat the pitcher, Art, told everyone to scoot in. The guys in my dugout were all giving me ooh's and laughing. I heard someone say, no respect! I got a basehit.

My next at bat there were two guys on base. I hit the ball. I thought it was going to be a deep pop-up. I went sprinting down the line. Then the ball went out of the park and over the trees in center field at the City Playfields. It went close to the parking area in center field across the street. It was a monster shot. One of my next at bat I hit it over the right fielders head and the ball went to the fence. I had an inside the park homerun out of it. It was so cool.

I went to Colfax after the game to change and get ready to meet with Gail to work on her website. She is running for State Senate. She wanted to hire me to do her website (http://www.gail4senate.org). I said that I would do it. I got a lot of stuff from her and then went to meet with Peter.

I drove to Waller and I was hanging out with him and we were chatting about our normal stuff. Then Ryan called. I asked what Peter wanted to do. We decided to go see a movie. We were going to see I,Robot. I talked to Ryan to see if he wanted to go. While talking to him I found out that his roommate pulled some more crap. I was mad that it is happening and I was mad he did not tell me what was happening while I was in the meeting with Gail. He had called me and asked if I was in the meeting. I said yes and he said he would talk to me later. I told him in the future to tell me what is going on. I said he is more important than the meeting.

Peter and I went to pick up Ryan and then go to the movie. On our way I was on Valley Road near the playfields. I saw two cops coming up Valley Road and turn on to Merman Drive. I said that I bet I knew where they were going. So I hurried up to get to Ryan's apartment. It was were the cops were going. I stood by with Ryan until the cops were done talking to him. I helped him move his TV into his bedroom and then we went to the movie.

I saw a couple of the people who had played softball with and against me today. I said hello to all of them. When the movie was over with we went to Ryan's apartment. Everything and everyone was gone. Just Ryan's stuff remained. We hung out there for a few minutes and talked about the court yard partied that happen at CCN.

We then went to get dinner together. Following dinner we got some ice cream. Then we went to Moscow to play air hockey. I beat Peter and Ryan. We played some head to head basketball. It was fun. Peter and I were acting like we did years ago. We were laughing and playfully fighting over the balls. It was just like years past. I sure miss those days.

When we were done there we decided to go back to Waller and play Axis and Allies. Peter, Ryan, and I played against two other people. One guy, I think his name was Tyson, reminded me of someone I knew a few years ago. I think it was him, but obviously he did not really recognize me, or he did not acknowledge that he knew me.

We played the game and I was the USA. GO USA!!!
