13.33. Toast: a poem

It occurred to me this morning at breakfast

that I always bite my toast

buttered side up.

This, I realized, deprives my tongue

from truly tasting the butter.

So I turned my toast over

and was delighted to learn that

breakfast was tastier this way.

13.32. Game notes (5)

Split a double header last night.  Lost 8-2 in our first game.  Scored 2 in the first and then gave up 6 in the bottom of the first.  Only got 3 hits all game.  In the second game we were down 2-0 going into the bottom of the seventh.  We managed 3 bunt singles, a hit by pitch, and a two run single to win 3-2.  We discovered a weakness.

13.31. Game notes (4)

We won 7-6 in nine innings on Thursday, our first league victory at last (1-3).  I played second base for a while, which is nice.  You have to be so much less "perfect" there than at shortstop.  I switched to shortstop 10 years ago or so, and I won't be all that sad when I no longer play there.  I'm a center fielder, really, who is capable of playing middle infield.

2/5.
