The Agony of Sport
Can someone explain to me why a dad who always makes sure his son is properly equipped to play ball would get behind the plate to catch in a slow pitch softball game without a mask? Here you can see the results. Forrest caught a freak foul ball in the head Thursday night. He swears he's never had a ball come off the end of the bat straight back like that so he still won't wear a mask the next time he plays. We were in the emergency room for two and a half hours Thursday night. Friday was a very long day after staying up till midnight.
On a brighter sports note Noah's team has progressed out of the first round of their end of season baseball tournament. They have a 5:00 PM game Monday night in Everett (about 25 miles from our home). I wonder if the organizers of these tournaments have jobs? It's going to take a major shuffling of our daily schedule to get us to that game on time. School isn't out for Noah till 3:40.
The volleyball team Alyssa coaches finished their regular season strong with a victory yesterday. Now they have a full day tournament all day next Saturday. Thankfully that one is only 7 miles from our house. Alyssa has taken to calling Forrest "Igor" since his injury. Can you guess what she's reading in English right now?

Ohhhh....that hurts to look at. How many stitches did he have to get? And does he still have a head ache? Way to go Noah!
