Grandpas gone home
A fun softball season came to a close as our nemesis (and frequent league champion) Upper Deck defeated us 15-8. A tough game all around, and I only managed a hit in four at-bats. Line: 1-4.

Harry Potter!
I read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows yesterday (all in one day) and I was quite pleased with it. It was an unusual weekend to have a visitor staying over since we were reading all the time, but Krissy still had fun :-)

Still alive in the playoffs
Although relegated to the loser's bracket, Grandpa's Gone Deep are still going wild. The bats came alive last night in a 22-11 win. My personal highlight was a bases-clearing double just inches over the leaping left fielder! My line: 3-4, 2B, 2R, 4RBI.

Is there anything better than a warm revel bar?
I didn't think so!

Racing against the wind and rain
I went on a new cycling ride last night, and things were going great. There were clouds off in the distance, but a little breeze to cool things off. When we reached the last looooooong hill, we were met with a steep wind in our face. The most amazing part of this one or two mile hill was the bee that flew within our bike group for the entire length of the hill. Now there's a go-getter! We beat the incoming rain by minutes. Total trip: 32.5 miles in 1:58.

50K, 100 minutes, 100 degrees... all figures approximate
I had another hot and challenging bike ride, which was only 100 seconds slower than my record ride last Monday. An hour before we started, the weather was upper 90s with the heat index over 100. A few clouds and some breeze moved in before the ride, but it was still quite toasty and a bit muggy. We went 33 miles in 1:46:40, good for an 18.5mph average. I once again had to do the last hill in the "granny gear", but I'm slowly getting better.

Elise comes home today
We've missed her a lot, but she had a great time with her parents and extended family. The three of us will be glad to see her tonight!
