We are in that weird zone between seasons. But volleyball starts back up in 11 days and baseball starts again on Saturday. No softball in the immediate future. I guess I will just have to come here for the jokes.

In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Louisiana State University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully. He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled. Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.
Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.

That was freaking great. Thanks for the laugh.
Batting practice tonight with the MS team. Batting lesson on Saturday (new instructor). MS double-header on Sunday. My DD just loves playing on the HS field.
You have MS games on Sunday? I am not sure what to make of that but if you are going to play 1 you mid as well play 2.
Yep - our "county" MS league plays on Sunday - we use the HS fields, which the HS teams do not use on Sunday.

End of the season softball picnic tonight. Tomorrow we are starting Austin Wasserman's Catcher's workout and Sunday off to visit another College. The coach wants to talk with her Monday on the phone and we thought we should look at the campus first LOl.
