March Madness

A seemingly innocent Wednesday turned into a rather long day. The first meeting of the day wasn't until 2, but I was busy with non-meeting stuff before lunch which ended just in time for me to leave for my meeting. From there I drove to Lisle, a little more than an hour away for softball practice at 5. For most of Tuesday I didn't have softball practice on Wednesday and had a completely different Wednesday planned out, but then the guy running the team called for some batting practice and I entered scramble mode.

Instead of working out on Wednesday, I decided I'd work out on Thursday and hit softball practice on Wednesday. But I was also going to go to the bars and watch the NCAA games on Thursday, which I obviously can't do if I'm working out. Plus I wanted to cook ribs but I can't on Friday because it's Lent and I'll be driving to Cincinnati, which I don't do every Friday during Lent but which I happen to be doing on this particular Friday. So Thursday is rib day, which is another reason I can't go to the bar and watch games. Actually I could go for a drink or two, but that's pushing it. I'll just stay home and watch here and have a beer or two (it is St. Paddy's Day after all). Little known fact by the way, Patrick is my confirmation name, as was my dad's and his dad's.

Practice today went from 5-7 and then it was a 45 minute ride home (much less traffic), so I got home around 8. Cooked some crab and LL made salads and dinner was done in 15 minutes. Since I had to shower from practice though, we didn't finish eating until almost 9.

Anyway, my midweek was thrown all asunder by softball and it's only March!
