My First Glove
I bought my first baseball glove today. At 41 years old!
Our kids try a different after-school activity each semester and after going through swimming, football, soccer, karate, art classes and a few others I'll never remember we've found one that we enjoy watching as much as the kids enjoy playing - softball.
Sitting in the bleachers as the light fades and the huge lights get turned on is perfect. Fellow foreigners to US soil have to experience it.
So, of course the kids want to (and need to) practice at home and no matter how much I enjoy hitting the ball a few hundred feet the kids get bored and tired fetching it after a while. So I bought the glove so that we can stand out there in the time-honored practice of throwing a ball around.
Trouble is, I'm leaving town for 9 days tomorrow for the MVP/ASP Insiders summit in Seattle, so I'll have to wait. Perhaps I'll sneak in a few throws tomorrow morning - don't tell Rob or Scott I'm skiving.
