Yes, sitting here with even LESS to do...

Watching the LLSB world series...

And sure enough, after every pitch, every play...

1-2-3-4-5

Arm moves up
Eyes to hand
Hand holds indicator
Move the little wheel
Arm back to side

At least they all do it in unison.

Darn it. I forgot the Junior World Series is just down the road in Kirkland. I think I will go down there a couple days.

Final will be broadcast live on ESPN U on Saturday at 4 p.m. PDT...replayed 10 days later on ESPN2. I will be easily identifiable: the fat guy with the Hawaiian shaved ice counting loudly counting after every pitch.

I am thinking one our Yoopers, Steve Ritenour, is working that.

LOL... so here we go with one more.

Many of you will find it hard to believe, but the JLLWS is just about the only place around here to get Hawaiian Shaved Ice.

Paddy is also out there in Kirkland...
John,

In Kirkland at the WorldSeries is also a dutch forum-user active! "Paddy" (=username) is that dutch umpire. His name is Patrick Reus. ("Reus" means gigant. Believe me he's big)
Please say hello to him from me and wish him all the best during the tournament. Thanks in advance.

I'll look for the big guy. I'm on my way there and will send him your best.

Found out Reus has been down the road, did the final on ESPN Wednesday night, then is making the drive up I-5. He's staying with some good friends of mine right down the road. The guy might make TV twice in a week.

They say no geoduck near their house.

He's closer to home, Mick. This particular Taylor is in Michigan.
