Rain, rain, go away





Coach Richard and the team wait in vain for the rain to pass.

The boys and I were up bright an early this morning to attend the Skidmore High School Baseball Camp. The baseball field was deserted when we arrived and we learned later that the camp had been cancelled due to a shortage of available coaching staff.

Tonight's All-Star game vs Mathis was rained out after the first inning. What looked like a tiny little rain shower turned into a monsoon. The team took cover in the dugout until it became clear the field was going to be too wet to continue play. The tournament director did his best to find another dry field to play on but finally gave up and rescheduled the game for tomorrow (probably for the best since most of the team scattered once they were sent back to their cars). The evening wasn't a total loss though. Uncle Bubba stuck around long enough to take us to dinner at La Fiesta. He says aunt Linda would be jealous.
