Was home for a week after crazy move-out/wedding events. Bummed around mostly, hung out a lot with B and the family. Noticed that I slipped back into the Missouri vernacular: "Sumpthin fer nuthin, mondee tuesdee fridee." Went to see my little sister in the fourth grade Missouri play, an annual event that has barely changed since I took part in it a good 12 years ago. On another night Dad and the two girls and I went out one night and had some batting practice. It's been at least 5 years since I hit a baseball. I was whiffing up a storm at first. Then I started connecting, and man oh man, did that feel good. I probably put a dozen over the fence--this on the field that seemed impossibly large back in the early days of kid ball.
