Definition of a Game of Catch
Flicking and spinning
The ball in hand
Acclimatizing to skin
Becoming comfortable
The soul simply smiles
The smack of sphere and leather
It slips softly into glove
Only to be transferred
From one hand to the other
Made quick from years of repetition
Fluid and fast
Thrown easily an instant later
The shoulder
Followed by elbow
Wrist snap
Slipping gently off fingertips
Before spinning across the field
This is the definition of summer
TUESDAY…
--- First day of work.
Do a course for little more than an hour… then in the afternoon have my
computer crash… so I’m left limited in what I can do.
--- Physio right after work means I’m not home until close
to 8:00.
WEDNESDAY…
--- Computer at work is still down. Silliness.
Do some other stuff but am somewhat handicapped for it.
--- Walk after work.
Get 40 minutes in. Some TV after
that.
THURSDAY…
--- Ultrasound in the morning. Due date to come.
--- Back to bed after that and some napping during the day.
--- Night shift is busy.
FRIDAY…
--- In bed until about 12:30. Some TV and iPhone video games before work.
SATURDAY…
--- Softball practice.
The shoulder does ok and it’s a bit of fun back on the field.
--- Eddie comes over for BBQ and some hockey on TV. A nice time.
SUNDAY…
--- Walk and Sunday TV.
No better TV day than Sundays.
This time of year, it is highlighted by Game of Thrones, the Simpsons,
and Mad Men.
MONDAY…
--- Morning walk. Out
about an hour for the second day in a row.
--- Physio is followed by softball practice. Shoulder again does fine. I’m not gunning the ball like when I was 25,
but throwing pain free and without hitches.
Nice being on the field again.
--- Nick, Sheila and I do a pub for some beer and a late
supper afterwards. A good time.
