Good morning all. It is finally Friday. Two practices and two games the week following a week long trip to Disney is NOT a restful week. Im exhausted. But will that stop me from taking a bottle of vodka to the mancave with me tonight?!? NO! It shall NOT!
Im going to do everything I can to take it easy today while still giving the illusion of getting work done. Ive already got a head start by going to eat breakfast.
It depends on how wet they get. Generally, yes, we will keep playing. Even in a light rain. Heavy rain, lightning, and standing water will stop it though. But, like everything else, its all up to the umpire's discretion.
I got a more detailed story of what the dog did when I got home. It turns out, that after 40 years, the county is finally repaving the streets of our neighborhood. Theyve been patching the road for years, but someone finally realized that they were fighting a losing battle. The roads were so bad, that we wouldnt let Kat rollerblade anywhere off of the driveway. So, there were about 30 people in front of our yard and our neighbor's yard doing the road work. Mrs E got home from work and knew the dogs had to go out. Cocoa is so old, she wasnt worried about her taking off after the workers. She held no illusions, however, that Charli would stay in the yard. So, she did the "smart" thing and put her on the leash.... But when she got out the door, for some reason, it never occured to her to lock the leash short so Charli couldnt wind it out and get too far away from her. So, the door opens, Charli takes off, then circles around the column. Mrs E did the only thing she could think of, and let go of the leash. Charli then decides to take off and run, not to the road workers, but starts to make her lap around the house. The leash, now wrapped around the column, cinches tight with the hand held part catching on the rope part creating a kind of lasso. And down comes the column. We evaded the rain during the game, and it was still dry when we got home, so I put it back together, and wedged it back under the roof. There is enough pressure to hold it together as long as no one runs into it or wraps another leash around it. The gutter downspout will be salvageable. I just need the time to reconnect it to the gutter.
Feel better soon Tiff.
