So my computer is now doing weird shit. Emails look like they’re in Thai, even when they aren’t. I can copy and paste into word and they look fine, but they show up in Thai and when I type, they look Thai. I tried the text encoding, but that does nothing. It’s something beyond that for sure. Any ideas?

We're 1-4 now this season. I don't know where our once hot bats went, but looking forward, our defense felt all right. For some reason I like hitting against this pitcher. I went 3-3 in the first game and went 3-4 today. I feel like I can thread a needle with the softball when this guy pitches. The only one I blew it on, was when I didn't think before I swung at the ball. I usually aim. If you've...

We’re 1-4 now this season. I don’t know where our once hot bats went, but looking forward, our defense felt all right. For some reason I like hitting against this pitcher. I went 3-3 in the first game and went 3-4 today. I feel like I can thread a needle with the softball when this guy pitches. The only one I blew it on, was when I didn’t think before I swung at the ball. I usually aim. If you’ve seen For the Love of the Game, Costner says something like ENGAGE MECHANISM. I forgot to do that on the last at bat. I still play left field, where I pulled a hamstring, and it’s bothering me right now. But it’s weird, when it comes time to run, I can still do it, maybe it’s that adrenalin thing going on. I’m not sure, but our team had some downs lately.

New players trying to figure some things out, and the same old ones getting older but hopefully better. Yeah, we lost 10-9, so close, but so far, and it was the team that’s doing alright this season, but for some reason, we hang with them well. It’s a decent league though, we’re all sort of in the same level, although our record is probably the worst at the moment. We can turn it around. Right?

Leaving tomorrow for the Louis Vuitton HIFF. Hawaii is great, but I don't look forward to American Airlines. It's one of the worst airlines in the world. Long lines, bad service, bad everything so far. I haven't had a good experience on this airline yet. But once I get there, it should be great. I haven't been to the HI in a while, but this should be an interesting change. I'll tell you more about...
