I’m off to Kansas City for the weekend for Matt and Stephanie’s wedding. It should be a lot of fun, since basically my entire group is coming as well — me, Becca, Jo, Nick, Gavin, Jen, George, and Rich. Eight in all. We leave this afternoon, go to the wedding tomorrow evening, and return to Houston on Sunday evening. We’re staying at a fancy hotel in a big mall next to a park, and there will only be two people in each room. It’s all so posh compared to my usual standards.
I went 3-for-4 in softball last night! I’ve been consciously trying to change my batting stance ever since Jason suggested once at the batting cages that I was leaning into the pitches too much, such that I was hunched over the plate and swinging out too far. It made sense, because for a long time I never seemed to get the barrel of the bat on the ball; it always went off the narrower part toward my hands (which didn’t send the ball very far, in addition to painfully stinging my hands). Lately I’ve been making a conscious effort to stand more upright as I prepare to swing, and it seems to be helping.
yay for softball… 🙂
