Sunday afternoon we played baseball. The highlight of this game was when Mark pitched to me during the last inning. I was using a lite bat which allowed me to swing quickly. I hit the ball as far as I ever hit it and then ran my asses around the bases as fast as I could. I wound up making it home, meaning I had hit a home run off of Mark. Sure, it was an inside the park home run, but a home run nonetheless. Oh, and I’m well aware that the center fielder was playing in not only because I’m a very weak hitter but also to make up for the deficiencies of the right fielder. None of that changes the fact that I hit a home run off Mark. Oh, and you better believe that I’m not letting him live that one down.
Today we were played beanbags. It was Dave and I against Mark and Dave’s brother in law Pedro. Mark and Pedro had already beaten Jt and Corleigh We then played them and lost. After they beat Jt and Corleigh again, we were up. I loudly announced that “we are going to win this game and I guarantee it.” Mark laughed and found this amusing. He was done laughing however after we beat them 21-1! We played a 3rd game a little later on and lost a very close game 21-19.
All I can say about the past week is that my friends and I have the best friends ever. I knew this when my mom was sick and being on the other end of a greater tragedy I see it again. I’ve had many of my friend’s relatives say that we are such great friends and that most people aren’t lucky enough to have friends like this. I consider myself very fortunate and lucky to be among those friends.
