Thanksgiving Football
It does not feel like winter here. We have been blessed with wonderful weather this entire weekend. I'm still able to wear shorts during the day with temperatures around 65-70. Yesterday I watched some friends engage in an all day flag football tournament and wisely chose to take my camera. This complex that we play in has one of the most awesome views with mountains rising in the east and the west. The wind was barely blowing and the sun was shining perfectly. I only watched one game due to the team that I was primarily cheering for lost in the first round, so I wished the other teams good luck and headed out in town to prolong my stay in the nice weather. It's weird how there's already snow falling back home and my Christmas lights are going up around an open window. I hope everybody had a Happy Thanksgiving!!

In Your Honor
The toughest year has now come full circle. And what a lonely year it was.
Monday night we had a softball game against one of the ships. A recent basketball injury has made it a little painful for me to swing from the traditional right side of the plate so the last couple of games I have been hitting from the left side. Tonight the back was feeling good from a good workout I had the night prior, so after the first two hits from the left side (both doubles) I changed it up and decided to hit right handed like I grew up doing. The first pitch I sent sailing over the center field fence for my first homerun on the big field (275 ft). Another hit from the same side and a couple nice plays in the outfield rallied our team over this team whom we have been struggling against.
