Wow, who knew people would enjoy the kickball updates so much! It’s amazing the power kickball has over people—perhaps it’s the fact that everyone remembers playing it, and so it’s a part of our childhood nostalgia.

At any rate, we had another game last night. One of the girls brought some pregame margaritas for us, which were enjoyed in some lovely plastic flamingo glasses. We had to wait a bit to start our game because the refs weren’t present—which was odd considering that they had just finished playing their game, so where could they have gone?

Eventually the game started, and while we did have better fielding, we still lost (sigh). We didn’t score as many runs as in the last couple weeks, which was disappointing. Some of that can probably be blamed on the ball, though. The ball we were using was kinda flat, so it was substituted out—but that one was way bouncy and weird, and no one could throw or kick it properly. So, then it was swapped back out again, with the original ball, after it had some air added to it. The ball issue definitely had an impact on our game, but oh well.

Next week we are playing the #1 team in the division, so I don’t expect to be writing to you this time next week proclaiming our awesome victory. Although, if this is the one time we win, how awesome would that be?? Hopefully the weather won’t be too unbearable—last night it actually cooled off a lot right around 5pm, but if the game had been held on Sunday night, we would’ve been miserably hot! Time will tell!
