My softball team ended in third place and got a bye in the
first round of the playoffs. Then we had
another day off because of rain. Finally
we played our first playoff game against one of the weaker teams. We lost 19-4 in five innings. In fact, all of the top 3 teams lost their
first playoff game and were out of the playoffs early.
For many years, I kept a family diary devoted to good news and funny stories about my family while the girls were growing up. I stopped a few years ago. I am thinking of starting it up again because I have noticed that a lot of good and funny things are happening to my wife and I.

Out of Paper
I ran out of paper and printer ink almost at the same time
but was lucky that it was after I had finished printing the hockey pool draft
list.
Wrong File
I will often save files in the cloud by emailing them to
myself. Today I sent what I thought was
the final version of the hockey pool draft list. Then I forgot to save the file. It turned out that I had sent an old version
after discussing the file with Barb for quite a long time and not believing her
that she was talking about the file that I sent her. So I had to generate a new file and send it
again.
Hockey Pool Program
I worked for two weeks on the hockey pool program to
implement Barb's new strategy. Then I
found out I had a softball game at the same as the player draft. So Barb had to do the draft by herself. She was very nervous and I had to explain in
great detail how to use my list.
Christmas
Tonight I dreamt I had to dress up as Santa Claus but
wearing my CPAP mask. I woke up thinking
it was Christmas but it was April and it was just cold in the bedroom.
App
Barb found out that her friend in Ottawa and her son had written an app to do
pickleball scheduling and it was probably better than my schedules. It is able to guarantee you never played with
the same partner until you've played with everyone who is at the courts. My schedules can not guarantee that. Also her program can handle players arriving
late or leaving early. Although I tried
to handle players arriving late, my schedules cannot handle people leaving
early. So my month's work on Barb's
pickleball scheduling was a waste of time.
Who's Your Partner?
Barb thought Gayle must have been tired because when she was
texting Barb asking Barb when she was going back to Canada. Barb said right after the tourney. Gayle asked what tourney? Barb said the US
Open. Gayle asked who is your partner? Barb said you are!
