So much for the repeat. My softball team lost again last night, 10-0, to the eventual champions of the tournament. I was 1-2, bringing the season total to 21-40 (.525). We just could not get anything going. It was a scoreless tie until the 5th when they got 4, then 6 in the 6th, and a 10-run lead after 6 innings invokes the mercy rule. Oh well, if softball's over that means bowling starts soon. And also on the plus side, the cherry tomato plants we planted outside the door this year have started producing very nicely and haven't been raided by deer. I built a ridiculous looking barrier out of some 2x4s and chicken wire, and it seems to be working. So far.
