Cobourg


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.

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.
