Hearts and Minds
The following is a grand tale of adventure and courage from our resident columnist Nic "The Whip" White. This article accounts the details of Phase IV of our Baseball Odyssey. (You may also view this article from it's original source at the secure Stratford Message Board.
Well, it was another successful practice today. Even though there was plaenty of snow on the ground and it was still snowing off and on Rob Dwaine and I played on. Chuck and Andrew would have came but were tied up in other matters. Thomas did not come because, well, were not even sure if he made it home from the last practice . We got our arms loose in a certain Christian school parking lot in town, not certain if we were being followed, but we watched our backs. After a two hour practice we headed to get food and then went to Dwaines where we proceeded to look and discuss some posible jerseys for our team. All in all, another good one. We are only getting better.
Unfortunately I missed this practice... Hopefully this damned snow will clear up very soon then we will be able to get down to business! What a slap to the emotions it was to have the greenish brown ground once more blanketed in white! It makes my heart cringe and my soul weep... But enough of the melodrama.
Second backshift in a row tonight, nothing ruins a weekend better! This coming week will be better though, as I have Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday all off!
We NEED a party!
Enough said.
The Pictures are Up!!
Phase II of the Stratford Ball Odyssey Pictures are up, have a gander!
Special thanks goes to Matt Ling for the excellent developement, as well as the camera and film... and to Danial Pollard for his scanning and photoshop expertise! You can see them now on my picture page...
Looks like the snow may keep us off the diamonds for a little while yet. But even all that cold snow won't put out the fire that burns deep in our hearts...
