Softball’s over. We lost 25-1. The end of a season. It’s not always about winning, but sometimes, it’s really about how you play the game. Today our team looked like we weren’t there. People were out, sick, or whatever. The team looked different, we had a guest player, and people were in new places. We played the greatest team in our league (and to be fair they’d be the best in other leagues too) but it was ugly. Standing in the outfield and watching things go from fair to worse, then to failure is humbling. We could have done better, and we’ve done better.

Community Council meetingI went to this tonite. Interesting times. It’s like how you might think it is in a movie. People sitting (not a lot) and a council who does the talking and trying to be official. It’s a funny sight. Of course a woman is there interjecting comments a lot. Much of what the public says goes heard, but not acted upon. It’s sort of weird. A Trader Joe’s is coming to our area, that’s big news, and I learned about it there. Traffic is going to get messed up more on Olympic, and where the heck is Tijuana restaurant going to move to? I’m not a fan since they use LARD in everything, but they are quite popular. I’m excited about Trader Joe’s, hope it works out for the best. Meanwhile, I’ll eventually get into why I was there. But I might go back, it’s sort of fun.
