We got rained out today. Crazy
Weather was OK in Wisconsin this weekend, or so I've been told.
Before this weekend DD3 had umped only one baseball game. This weekend she umped 3 more 10U Little League games.
She says baseball is boring compared to softball, but the parents were all very supportive of her and told her she did a good job. Makes me wonder if baseball parents are nice, or is she just seeing the famous Midwestern Nice. I have seen umps in Wisconsin yelled at by fans in softball games, but maybe the LL parents know the umps are just kids, and take that into consideration. She said today's game was cold.
Meanwhile DS won a varsity level rowing race (mens' lightweight 4+ for the few rowers on DFP). Last year he got a couple of gold medals in Novice (freshman) events at the same small race. This year his first Varsity gold. Small race, but they are a D3 school and beat at least one D1 school.
Next weekend I get to visit Wisconsin for the first time since late July. I hope the weather is nice.

No tournament play but DD is wiped out like she played in one. 8 a.m. - 2 p.m. skills video session; 3 p.m. - 6 p.m. team practice
Sunburned and wiped out. HS fall ball game tomorrow night.
Weather is gorgeous though...Highs in low 80s, lows in high 50s, blue skies.

The only good thing about playing in Palmdale this weekend was that we got all the games in (albeit a little wet this morning).
The Carolina Classic was doomed. Glad we stayed home and did not go up anyway to see DD and pick up the dog. With all the damage have to wonder if they will reschedule. Photo below is about 1 mile from her apartment. Being a Florida kid and veteran of numerous hurricanes she knew what to stock up on and was prepared. Now she is just bored and tired of sitting around.
We are being hit with flood waters hard also. I live about 30 miles north of Charleston on the Cooper River. I am about to venture out for a jog and leave my house at any distance for the first time in 2 days. We have had 18" of water and the river is about 1/4 mile from my house normally but is now about 100 yards away. Fortunately I am on of 1 of 2 of the highest pieces of properties in our neighborhood.
Tell her to be patient and if possible always help a neighbor in need. That has helped me pass the boredom.
