Baseball

It was a long break and it is good to be back again. first the Blogger did not work. Oh, how I love "upgrades", they make everything better, so that it does not work any more. And then we got a new computer and it took us (Jay) a while to move everything over. So now I have to play a little catch-up.
Marlene started playing T-Ball this year. Last year she was not old enough. Her team's name is the "Orcas" and , off course, their uniforms are black and white. There are 3 girls on the team. Besides Marlene, there is her friend Grey and Katie, the daughter of the football coach at Nathan Hale. The weekend before Easter was their first game. Marlene did really good; she was nervous before the game. It was fun seeing all these kids running around the field "coached" at every base to what to do next. I guess this is learning by doing. For the next 10 weeks we are going to have practice every Wednesday and games twice a week. And this being Seattle, off course, there was a mobile Espresso stand at the field.
