May 17-23

Another week much like the previous, there just isn't a great deal going on right now. On Thursday morning Jenny was in town for a medical appointment and I had a haircut appointment at 12:30. She was done around 10:30 or so, we got our lunch and came back to my place. Jenny had not been here since February of 2020, she and her mother are usually here when they travel to a game with me but it's actually been that long since any of that happened. After we ate she relaxed while I had my haircut, when I returned I took a quick shower to get the loose hair off my body and we went to her place when I was finished. For a day of conflicting schedules we somehow made it work but then again we almost always do. On Sunday we were back in Rothsville for week #4 of the over-forty league. The games on this day were rematches from the opening week and the weather itself was a virtual rerun of that day as well. Temperatures reached into the high 80s with brilliant sunshine, intermittent clouds and a strong breeze from the northwest were about all that made it comfortable. By the time we were done I was thoroughly wiped out and I had barely moved around all day, I can't imagine how the players must have felt. We had seven new signups on this day bringing the total league participation up to fifty-seven altogether. This day was noteworthy because it marked the first time all four teams won on the same day, Warwick and Township split their two games and Ephrata traded wins with Hillside. I was talking to one of the guys who used to play in our league at Reservoir Park (still in mothballs but hopefully not for much longer), he hadn't played for years until this league in Rothsville was formed. He told me he was really enjoying himself, he hadn't seen a lot of his old teammates in years and if not for this league he didn't know when or if he'd ever see them again. If that isn't a great testimony I don't know what would be. Take care, thanks for reading.
