I was ready to come home from a ball tournament in Cobourg
and told Barb I was about to leave. Barb
said that Sarah was coming over but was stuck in traffic on the 401. So Barb looked up accident on the 401 on the
internet and sees a major accident with a car and a transport truck with all
the lanes on the highway closed for 4 hours.
So she tells me not to hurry.
Then Sarah walked in the house.
There was no accident. The report she saw on the internet was an
accident from back in December. She showed
me the report when I got home and I said you should have noticed something was
wrong with the report because the reporter had a winter coat on and you could
see snow on the ground around the accident.
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.

Metal Straw
I was walking around the house with my phone and power cord
looking for my metal straw getting frustrated.
Finally I asked Barb if she had seen it.
She said it is in your hand.
Corel
Barb was trying to buy Corel dishes at Walmart as a wedding
present for Sarah and looked them up on the interenet. The Walmart website said that one plate was
$26. Barb couldn't believe it could be
that expensive. So she wrote a question
in the comments section of the webpage.
They replied the next day but Barb never saw it because she didn't check
her SPAM file for a reply.
Fry
We have a new young pitcher on the team this year too. His name is Kyle Fry. The guys nicknamed him Greasy and Chicken Fry
and Stir Fry.
Blue and White
We have a new very young player on the team who is country
boy from Sarnia. We were waiting to find out if the game was
going to be played because there were big puddles on the diamond. A bunch of us were standing around home plate
and Kole was talking. We had not really
ever seen play but he started bragging around how far he would hit the ball
today. He looked out at the farmer's
field behind the ball fences and said he was going to hit that blue and white
horse. We said what is a blue and white
horse and he pointed to a horse in the field wearing a blue and white blanket
on its back.
Parking Lot
We played at an unusual diamond on Sunday morning
early. I parked behind the community
center instead of the parking lot because I was afraid my car would get hit by
a foul ball. I was the first one
there. When the guys started to arrive,
I got out of my car behind the community center and came around to the
diamond. I heard the guys all yelling
where is Ivy. Then they yelled there is
Ivy coming around the building. Hi Ivy.
Waitress
I was trying to hook up to the wifi at Boston Pizza and I
got up to ask the waitresses for the wifi password. She told me and I took out a little piece of
paper to write it down. The guys all
thought I was trying to make it with the waitress and was trying to get her
phone number.
