Today, Maddie and I took one final trip to our local park, simply for the joy of launching yellow balls into the blue sky.


Tuesday, we make the 2-day drive to Eugene, OR and move her into her dorm.

Very cool. I can't imagine the feels you have as a Dad. Both with an end to a journey, but also a start to another. Congrats.

Eugene is a fun town. I had some close friends attend U of O. Definitely try to get to a football game. And just let her know she needs to walk on campus automatically hating the Beavers!

We both took a few moments to appreciate the significance of the event, and we thanked each other for the softball journey.

Eugene is great! We've been there a few times, and have had a chance to explore the town. Maddie loves it there, for sure. She already has the Beavers thing figured out. ;)

In a surprising turn of events, Maddie has accepted an invite to play with her former team in a showcase event this weekend (Saturday only). They are down a few players, and the coach reached out to some of the '22s that are back in town during their winter break from college. Maddie hasn't touched anything to do with softball since September. We're going to try to squeeze in a cage session this week.

EDIT: Well, the showcase event has now turned into Saturday practice and Sunday games. Maddie is still in...for both. I'm pretty sure this is all about spending some time with former teammates, and nothing to do with wanting to get back to playing regularly.
