The last day of the season for bowling was today. A potluck-slash-fun night. Steve and Laura were out of town so we bowled with some other people from the league whose partners were also gone. All in all I'm ready for the season to be over because I have been doing so bad lately. Anyway, softball is on now. Today we also went to Jo Kidd's scratch-n-dent furniture warehouse for the first time today. They have a big sale every couple of weeks, where after the first hour the tagged price is 10% off, 20% off after the second hour, and so on until it's 50% off for the last hour before they close. We picked up a couple of bedside tables normally priced at $100 each for 40% off (if not for the kids, we would have waited another 30 minutes to get the last 10% off). The van was back in the shop the other day, having some work done that they told us had to be done soon (rear brake cylinders were very worn) and we didn't do last time...another $350. Ouch. Thursday night was the church's all-daughters banquet, hosted by the men. Since I didn't help set up I stayed late to help clean up. Between tearing down all the speakers, microphones, risers, etc from the musical program and shlepping them back to the church or the middle school they came from, hauling all the dirty dishes, glasses, and silver to Dig's Diner to be washed and back to the church, the cleanup team was busy until midnight. The dinner itself was a big success but one of the lessons learned has to be more people making the food next time. 2 guys doing all the food prep for 180 people meant that some ladies didn't get dinner for almost 2 hours. Too many Indians, not enough chiefs. Last Tuesday was our second softball game (last week's was rained out), and it was SO COLD. We got our butts kicked bad enough that I only batted once. I remain hitless for the season (0-4).
