batting .500
This weekend, the Hawkeyes failed to topple #1 Ohio State, but the Cardinals squeaked into the playoffs for the umpteenth year in a row. Iowa could have won, and St. Louis probably shouldn't be in the playoffs...but the cookie crumbles.
But on another plus side, my church softball team won the Boston church metro league championship. I wasn't there to participate, but I'm still proud. Not only do Reformed Christians dominate theology, they are the most athletic! (Just a joke, of course). I wasn't at the game because I was attending cousin Mary Catherine's wedding shower in Kempton, PA, with sisters and cousins and Aunt Sara. It was fun hanging out with them and Keith Riley's mom and Jon Schimpf's parents, and of course Jon and his cousins and all of the Schimpfs' animals - Levi the llama and several battering rams and bees and even a bear-at-large. Didn't see the bear, but that didn't erase the drama of wheeling a golf cart around the farm and by the woods, leery of suspicious sounds and shadows.
We drove into NYC on Sunday and had lunch with Ben and Aaron and all of the little tots, before Aaron hauled them off to the Natural History Museum. Ben showed us the quadruple-decker he's been working on, half a block caddy corner from their compound. He is now a full-time developer in Queens. I asked him to save one of his renovated apts. for me, though it's still a couple years down the road. We drank coffee on the sunny front porch and left for Boston.
Anna's here now, about to leave for Belgium. She is so bright in her neon green Washington, D.C., hoodie. I will miss her, but at least Heidi and I will have a place to stay next summer when we live in London and take a weekend trip to Brussels.
