sport
Today was a day filled with sport. Which was nice.
I woke up this morning and went down to the boathouse for some rowing training. It was, shall we say, unpleasant. I came back to Keble, showered, had breakfast (pb&j) and went to the MCR where I did the NYTimes crossword puzzle and watched professional curling. I also watched idiots on Discovery TV build the world's largest treadmill. After a day of walking around, chatting with one of my very excellent friends here, and being in the library, I did something I haven't done since 1991: I tried to hit a baseball.
Now, I'm a pretty big fan of baseball. I enjoy it; it's good stuff. And back in 6th grade, I was on the baseball team. I was up to bat once, I was walked, and I stole one base. The next game day, I got appendicitis and was was out the rest of the season. Tonight, I was invited by my neighbor Derek (the infamous Yankees fan) to go to batting practice for the Oxford Kings, the city amateur baseball team. It was a lot of fun, and I'm severely tempted to give this a try.
Who'd have thought that I'd have to go to England to rediscover how to hit a baseball?
