The butterflies were just a reminder that the games is coming.

After the pre game meeting at home we were set to play. I cleaned the plate and before lowering my mask I have to admit that I stood there a few seconds and took it in again. I thought where else would I rather be right now. A sense of joy came over me. No wax on wax off moment but a feeling that this is the best seat in the house to see a game.

Down goes the mask and a loud play ball. Man, this stuff is fun.
I'm glad for you and envious, having spent several hours the past two days with my snow thrower and expect the same tomorrow.
