A Non-tragic injury

Jess was at Derby practice last night and jammed her shoulder. It kept her up during the night, so we went to the hospital in the morning and got her checked out. Luckily there appears to be nothing broken, but they have prescribed her some pain medication and given her a shoulder strap. She's iffy for the Sunday game, but as it is, essentially, a bruise, we just have to wait and see when she heals up. I'll make sure to keep her benched if she's not ready to play. It's my job.

Also, teaching Sandlin how to make bread has kicked off a spate of loaf-making at my house. The third loaf is in the oven now. I've had pretty good luck using the food processor to make the bread, even though it is pretty hard on the motor. I'll give my stand mixer a workout next time and see how it compares. Jess is, of course, quite happy with the baked goods, and the lunchtime sandwiches have taken on an entirely new dimension.

Baseball Season 2

Sorry I didn't update about the end of season one. Gordie's team ended up in second place. And Gordie scored several times. What a hero!

The second season started on Monday, July 28. They were set to play two games. The final scores were Bruisers Too beating Bar Flies 17-8 ( this is a group of lawyers) and Bruisers Too winning again against Local 52 Terminators 9-5 (a group of ...locals). But the sad news is that Gordie suffered an injury in the first game. As he caught a ball at first for an out he turned and did something bad to his calf muscle. So he was out for the rest of the evening. His leg is kind of puffy and he walks really funny so we will see if he is able to bounce back enough to continue to play.

I hope he can keep playing, this group has done some nice barbeques.
