Bed Early

I was coaching the Waterloo Wizards in the Burlington Tournament and driving back and forth to Burlington every day. It was about an hour and half drive. We were short of players so I had to play first base as well as coach for a game and a half. I hadn't played first base since I was in Florida in April and this was now October. So even though I only played a game and a half I was tired and sore after the games that day. I went to bed on Saturday night at 8 pm and slept until 8 am.

Fish and Chips

We had our team party for the Red Sox at the local pub in New Hamburg and I had fish and chips which is what I always have when I eat out. I order fish and chips whenever I can because Barb never wants to cook fish and chips for me. While I was eating, we were talking, I tried to say something but I had fish and chips in my mouth and choked on my food. I started coughing and my eyes starting watering but I tried to keep on talking but my voice was very soft and I was struggling to be heard. I was talking and talking while I was choking and the guys on my team sat there and pretended that nothing was happening.

Pause Button

Barb was telling me about her friend who has a button on her headphones that she can push to pause the sound on her phone. She was telling me how great it would be if I had one too because people are often stopping me during my walk and I have to take out my phone and struggle to pause my audio books so that I can talk to them and not miss anything in my book. Then she noticed that I had a button on my headphones too and we tested it and it paused my audio book just like her friend's.

Geese and Ducks

There were hundreds of ducks and geese in the park down by the river in New Hamburg and I took a few pictures on my phone to show Barb when I got home from my walk. I forgot to show them to Barb and many days later Google photos reminded me I hadn't shown the pictures to Barb.

Data

At the park and ride where we were meeting Sarah to go to the Labour Day football game, Barb said could send Laura a message because Laura has data.  So Barb sent Laura a message and then she realized that it didn't work because she (Barb) doesn't have data.

Steps

Barb didn't want to pay for parking when we went to the Labour Day football game in Hamilton. We found a free parking spot on the street but had to walk a long way to get to the stadium. We didn't mind too much because we wanted to get our steps in for our Fitibit Workweek Hustle with Haleigh. Barb was afraid we would not be able to find our car after the game but I was able to retrace our steps and we found our car with no problem.

Expert

Sarah brought us to the Labour Day Tiger Cat game against the Argonauts for my birthday and Barb immediately became a football expert criticizing the Tiger Cats quarterback and their receivers. The Tiger Cats had a poor first half and were losing but they had a great second half and won the game easily.
