the summer of '05 rambles on... some of you may know i used to be a pretty avid softball player. there was a time 10-15 years ago, where it wasn't unusual for me to play 2-3 nights a week (usually double-headers) and tournaments 1-2 weekends a month. i've played asa, usssa, and all the different levels.
these last couple of years my increasing age, and waning skills, time, & interest have pretty much reduced that to almost nothing. that said, i always find time to play in a fall league that usually starts up in august. planning to do that again this year. also, i have been asked to play in a tournament this weekend. gauranteed 4 games. now, i have not swung a bat since last fall, and have only thrown a couple of times. should be interesting....the good news is that this is sort of "for fun" meaning, not the level of competition i used to play at. it's a group of older guys i used to play with way back when, just getting together for old times sake & have some fun. we'll see how it goes.
soccer ended for the girls last night. as glad as i am that they participated i can't say i'm disappointed that it's over. it was monday-wed every week there for quite a few weeks in a row. it got to be a little much but i'm still glad they played. i know they learned a lot about the fundamentals, developed some skills and made some friends on their teams. kicking around (no pun intended) the idea of either coaching or helping coach again this fall, if the girls decide they want to play again. we'll see.
