Softball: Your Primary Source of 21st Century Recreational Solace

Dear People,

Congratz to all on last week’s mirth-laden 28-21 millennial orgy of raw, all-American football. That 10 gentle souls from our softball playing community were able to so seamlessly make the unexpected shift to a troubling sport of such overwhelming brutality only serves to show the flexibility and kinesiological grace with which our people enter the new era. Indeed, this is particularly evident when one considers that all of us played in the company of a menacing array of park-loitering prepubescent youth, whose ability to pass, catch and tackle so starkly exposed the physical disadvantages of easing into the brittle-boned realities of our own gerontological decay. Yes, the next day my buttocks were tender and inflamed, but as of this writing, it is only my pride that continues to swell.

Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to offer words of galvanizing inspiration, but given that most of you have undoubtedly grown sallow and flabby over the recent holidays, I assume that a commitment to aerobic renewal will gush forth on its own. Therefore, I will not drivel, but simply announce that there will be a game at Codornices this Saturday, January 8th at 11AM, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning….Raymond

Softball: With Every Match A Treat

Thursday 8PM

Dear People,

There will be a game at Codornices on Saturday at 11AM. Alas though, there are already 22 commits, and thus the game is now closed. Yes, sometimes life is harsh for those who dawdle.

Please bring the usual gear and $2 for the field, which for this time only, includes a complimentary crate of virgin Estonian baiting worms….Raymond
