Take Me Out to the ER

I like sports, but generally I'm not very good at them. I want to be good, but years of laziness has caused any sense of skill to diminish.

So what do I do? I agree to play softball... in the dead of summer... in North Carolina. Luckily the team is full of either early thirty somethings and older 20 year olds so we are in the same injury range. I was just looking to get some exercise and some friendly interaction.

I did not HORible, but pretty close. My first at bat, I swung and missed the first two pitches (You only get three total in an at bat). I made contact in the last pitch, but it was reminiscent of Willy Mays Hayes at bat in Major League. I kind of half swung and got it near the hands. I squeal led internally and started to run. I got my first base hit. It almost ended in the same way, only I was picked off when the short stop made the catch and I was half way between first and second.

My second at bat was fair, but I hit it straight to the third baseman and I had no chance of getting to first. We lost 13-7 but I had fun, or I went delirious from heat... either one could be true.

Holy Crap My Face is Melting

Last August 3rd I mentioned it was freaking hot in Columbus. Well just over 8 months later I'm in Wake Forest, NC and

IT'S FREAKING HOTTER THAN THAT DAY.

According to JDOG-17 weather people it's going to be in the high 90s. Did you catch that, the high 90s and it's not even summer yet.




This morning The Wife left for work and made me go outside to feel the heat. It's only 8:30am but it's in the mid 80s. By the time I left the YMCA It was in the 90s. I went home took a shower (bad move) and decided that I need to hit some golf balls so I don't embarace myself in front of my father in law and then two days later with my dad. I get a small bucket of 70 balls and I'm not even half way through and I am sweating more than Wilson with two of his lady friends in the same room. I finish my bucket and I am soaked. I have to go take another shower. I knew it would be warmer, but damn is this hot.





We've had 90s all week and I handled it pretty well and then the weather gods throw this day out and all I can do is sweet. I did want to lose 10 pounds before I came home and well, I guess I'll just sweat it out... stupid insulation!

(

P.S. I know I didn't post for a few days, I've had a run of a few bad days at work... well the entire nightside crews have had a few bad days and I did not feel like posting, hopefully this will get me out of that funk.)

Hot Hot Hot

Holy Crap is it hot outside! So far the last four days in Columbus have been in the 90s with the humidity making it 100 F-ing Billion Degrees! I'm not a huge man but I have some gurth to me; all I have to say is I'm built for fall and winter... get my drift? It doesn't take much for me to break a sweat, but when it's this hot, I need a change of cloths every time I go outside. The first two days I was able to stay indoors, but not Wednesday and Thursday. Yesterday I did a story about it's hot outside so are people going to the pool. It sucks when you do this. The cool refreshing water is right there! I could just jump in, but I might ruin yet another camera. DAMN YOU ELECTRICAL THINGS AND MOLECULAR COMPOSITIONS!!! Then today was a mix bag of out door goodness. I have a publicity shoot for out local sister station. Then it was shooting gas stations for an hour. I get back in the truck, I crank the A/C and try to dry out as well. I am now smelly and sweaty. Stupid global warming! Why can't it be like a mall 75 degrees and always with a Cinnabon.
