St. Melanie
For some reason this weekend, Alex was looking at St. Melanie. I found it absolutely hilarious that St. Melanie was highly revered by King Clovis...Clovis being the horrific town I went to high school in. Yay!! Go OTC!!
Yesterday marked the first time I played softball in about 13 years. I joined the bar league this year, playing on the Summit B team. Our first practice was yesterday. Surprisingly - aside from missing some fly balls due to severe sun-blinding - I wasn't that bad. I dove for some ground balls and had a few good hits. Today, however, I am so sore. My back is killing me. I was prepared for my knees to hurt, after all this was the most athletic I've been since the knee surgery, but my knees are no worse than any other day (apparently that walking five miles a day is paying off); my back and shoulders are killing me though.
It was a beautiful sunny day and we had a grand ol' time. This weekend, Alex and I will be off to the batting cage.
Coming soon: A picture of me the last time I actually participated in group sports.

I can't wait to see the picture!
I would like to try to be athletic, but I am not sure that would be a pretty picture for anyone involved. Great job!

Sun? You guys have sunshine? And me in 30 degree weather. I'm so jealous of your softball and spring! Boston's brightening up, but not really weather-wise. The big deal stuff for me involves job hunting, but I can't write much about that until things firm up a bit.
Enjoy the sunshine!

It sounds like you had fun! I am glad that the walking is paying off with helping your knees. I agree with OC Girl, it would not be a pretty picture for me either!

OCG & Amber - Trust me, i'm no stellar athlete. It's a bar league, everyone gets drunk while they're playing!!
Liz - You, I think, would have so much fun on our Summit B team! Are you going to come visit this summer?
