Playoff Game


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.

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!
