Where have I been

I started this on May 11th, but wrote nothing and didn’t even open it since then and it is early May 15.

The Tigers continue to lose and frustrate me. They are frustrating lots of fans as well

Weird thing happened at baseball practice today, a parent apologized to me. Not 100 percent why he did that, but it was appropriate. I guess he was at the game I was not and had the kids whipping around the bases on a team that they were thumping 20-0. He told me people were getting mad at him and his philosophy was to score as many runs as possible because he knew the pitcher in the last inning would give up 10 runs (not sure he knew how the pitcher would do)

I thought it was a pretty good practice, we worked on scenarios… (If you are playing third base, what do you do if the ball is hit to right field.) There are a couple kids that always know what to do, but never do it. Our best pitcher is like that. Last Friday he was playing third base and a couple times kids stole the base and he didn’t position himself right. I talked to him after the first time; he said he knew what he should do and gave me an excuse why he didn’t do the right thing. The second time he did the wrong thing.

I am glad school is wrapping up. I applied for a job in a K-5 school that is about 40 minutes north of my home town.

Up late, but I had a nap. I skipped my weekly nap, I don’t feel comfortable there.

I should be able to finish up the Joyce Carol Oats book: “After the Wreck, I Picked Myself Up, Spread My Wings, and Flew Away”
