Think Summer

Thanks to that lovely meteorological wench called a Nor'Easter, this is how Friday morning started, some light snow flurries. By 2pm we already had near 6", so our drive to Boston in 12 passenger vans was postponed until today (Although you guys will miss out on a  blog that would've been detailing my anxiety attack while driving a giant van in a snowstorm through downtown Boston) So we had a light practice, and then I made my way down the back bumpkin dirt roads to my house, which of course had not been plowed, to arrive at the lakehouse who's driveway ALSO hadn't been plowed. So I had to shovel out a parking spot in the 12" we got. Have I mentioned our landlord owns a plow and is supposed to take care of this stuff? Ehh, anyways, get into the house to discover we have no power. Which at first seems like a minor inconvenience until we realize this means no heat, and no way to cook food. So as any rational person would do, we packed up and headed to the bar. Watched the last few innings of the RedSox opening day and had a pretty darn good dinner of mac&cheese and some gearheads. Our power still not restored, I made my way back to the gym where I spent the night in the doctor's office. I now know what homeless people who squat in buildings feel like as they spend all their time avoiding detection. I almost made it through in perfect ninja fashion, but at 3am I scared the crap out of a janitor collecting trash. Thankfully he laughed and just walked away as opposed to calling the cops and having me arrested for vagrancy.

Soooooo back to softball, we are now leaving at 8:30 this morning to play a single game at 3pm in Boston. My parents are coming out for this one, so I'm sure they're adventurousness will be rewarded with getting lost driving in Boston and freezing cold weather to sit through. Stay tuned, today could be an adventure
