Softball: The Public Health
8am Friday
Dear People,
There WILL be a softball game this Sunday at Codornices Field at 11AM. As of now, there are still a few slots left.
Unfortunately, I am still waiting for at least one person with the courage to come forward and agree to bring a grill and some coal. Without that hibachi, the entire culinary infrastructure of the proposed barbecue would collapse. Simply put, this would leave me no choice but to call off the meal, lest I risk that our best players mistakenly nosh on post-game slabs of raw pork, their innocent innards suddenly replete with people-hating parasitic roundworm.
I cannot take that chance, but it's not yet too late. As the 4th draws near, I want you to look deep into your hearts and ask yourself what Thomas Jefferson would have done. Personally, I believe he would have understood that with the inalienable right of aerobic exertion comes the concurrent necessity of nutritional sustenance, properly prepared. I also believe he would have called every friend he knew to seek out that barbie, because he would know that ultimately, disgusting little micobial things in the aspiring athlete's gut is the enemy of recreational agrarian democracy. Perhaps I am naive, but I believe that somewhere out there, one of you also understands this. Please. Commit that grillage.
Update to follow...Raymond
