I hit for the cycle today!
I know, I don't play baseball.
Unlike Dan, I can't run after those balls anymore.
When a player hits for the cycle, he has a single, double, triple and homer.
Understand, I don't play baseball anymore. Never the less, I hit the cycle today! I covered every mistake I am prone to do.
Went to a graduation party and called the mom by her sister's name, and called her sister by the mom's name. I seem to have a tendency to do that. I was positive I was right. Jackie showed me their Facebook pages and whoops! Reversed the names. I am counting that as a double.
Forgot to get something at the store....even though that is what I went to the store for. Three days ago. Have gone twice since then and still not bought it. Call that a single.
Said farewell to some friends at church and got a little teary eyed. Happens every time I say goodbye to people who (whom?) I don't expect to see again, despite our promises to keep in touch. In one year they will just remember the old geezer at church who could not tell a weed from a plant and consistently pulled out the plants. Call that a triple. And I will miss them. Good people.
And my home run......double booked for Monday and Friday! RSVP'd (sounds funny....especially the P'd part) for an event Friday, told the zoo people I would see them Friday June 12 because I had a Cub game June 19, got a message from Linda that my Cub game is actually June 12 and how am I going for wine if I am in Chicago?
So, had to un-RSVP......which I now know how to do. You can't just reply to an e-vite.....you have to go in and change your yes to a no. Old dogs do learn new tricks! Wrote the zoo folks to tell them I will not be there June 12, but will be there June 19, messaged John W. to make sure I told him the right date for a mid week Cub game I am taking Jackie to, and then decided to clean the garage.
I got part of it done and staked the trees, then cleaned up the mess on the porch, and finished wrapping the chairs to send back....but luckily I finished all of that.
And realized I am helping with a Rotary project and attending a training session for church, both Monday, in addition to paying the taxes and returning the chairs.
If there was another hit in store, it would be the pulled pork. I tend to take risks with eating leftovers. We had leftovers from my niece's graduation party last Saturday. I may have pushed it by eating the pulled pork again today, 8 days after it was cooked. It was still good, I hope.
Hey, that's enough for now. I gotta go. Really.
