Little League update

[pat]

Well, the season is over. D's team reverted back to their former selves and were given a major shellacking yesterday, eliminating them from the playoffs.

J's team lost a close game, unfortunately one with several bad calls. I don't like to criticize umpiring as a rule, but these were pretty egregious. So his team is out of the playoffs.

All I have left is to get them ready for closing ceremony on the 14th, and figure out hw we can all attend the team parties -- all of which are scheduled for right after the ceremony.

And I still have not found an answer to this imponderable: how come I never seem to have on hand the same number of cups as athletic supporters?

D wants to take up football now.

Ah... the case of the disappearing cups. We've gone through a number of them this year. (??) Bren uses sliding shorts, instead of the elastic supporter thing. Each time I buy a new cup, the supporter thing comes along with it (haven't found a solitary cup I can purchase, so I end up with more and more sling-shot thingys and one hard plastic cup.) Did that make sense?

One funny... George bought a replacement during the season & got an *xlarge* (for a boy still wearing size 7x pants). It could have (past tense, as it's gone the way of the other cups) been used as a hard hat. I guess *Dad* believes his son to be more endowed than he actually is. Or we're now protecting the spleen as well.

Have you been going to group?
