Softball: My Favorite Anti Griswold v. Connecticut Candidate!
Dear People,
To begin this totally new, vital and inevitably annoying year, Tony Mac's team smothered my own on the last hit of the game, 13-12. It was a taut and dramatic affair from start to finish, and indeed, when Jerry and Jim brutally collided in their simultaneous attempts to snag a soaring 9th-inning blast to deep center left, I thought the Macster's contingent may have lost two of their finest just when they were needed most. Thankfully for them, neither suffered even the mildest of concussions, although Jim did lapse into a puzzling outbreak of post-impact scurvy. In any case, the resulting triple tied up the score and gave my side a final buzz of ephemeral hope, but Matt's game-winning blast to left provided the bitter coup de gras in the bottom of the inning. Yeah, ours is not a sport for the emotively tender.
The point is that it's a new year, yesterday was still a quasi-holiday, my biotemporal clock is curiously off, and truth be told, I've been so engrossed by the solemnity of this evening's Iowa caucuses that I almost forgot to write you. I'm not proud of that, but now that I've confessed, I might as well also admit that given what I'm observing on the telly, I'm actually OK with Rick Santornutt ending up on top (give or take a dozen votes).
Not just because a Google search on his name gives the most intriguing top-down results (although it certainly does!), but, truth be told, because I like to be entertained by the electoral process. More specifically, I happen to think that watching a national candidacy devoted to the venerable precepts of a robust medieval theocracy has a certain salacious allure, and therefore there will be a game at Codornices this Sunday at 11, IF I get enough commits by this Friday morning…Raymond
