6:04 a.m. - Yesterday was a grind. I left the house about 8:45 a.m. I got back around 7:15 p.m. I had maybe 15 minutes of a break to eat a sandwich between games two and three. All four of the games I had went seven innings...all of them were beyond 90 minutes. All of them were close games. The first two games I had a partner who was in his first varsity games...he was nervous, and I tried to give a lot of suggestions. He did great, but in his plate game, there were a couple of calls that were controversial. I felt bad that one of those was on the last play of the game. That just doesn't happen very often, but it did yesterday. He handled himself well, and I think he enjoyed his experience. Working four varsity games in a row, though....that's a grind. I'm really tired this morning.
Today, I think the weather is supposed to be good for Carmen and Tyler's reception. My job is to have the drinks iced down and ready to go for the guests. I've got the coolers; I've got the drinks; now I just need to transport all of those things to the Mercer County Fairgrounds and pick up some ice along the way. I wonder how much ice is now-a-days.
