Sunday Kickball
Egg Toss ChampsAfter a chilly and breezy Saturday, the sun came out on Sunday, and the wind eventually calmed down by about 3pm. Interestingly, unlike all of the previous 2 springs, the weather forecasters had called for a nicer weekend than it turned out to be. The meteorologists are infamous for predicting weekend doom and gloom in the 5 day forecast, only to have things turn out pretty fair. I have always believed it was a deep conspiracy between the casinos and the weathermen, since rainy forecasts sway people into altering their weekend plans. Thinking about camping, golfing or going to a ballgame? Not if it is going to rain all weekend--let's go somewhere indoors! And then it winds up sunny. Maybe they have changed their pessimistic nature. Congrats to the UConn women hoopsters, as they held up their end of the Final Four deal. I tried to post numerous photos from the weekend on the Saturday blog, but have quickly come to realize a couple of things. First, far more people than I thought mentioned that they read the blog regularly. Second, I need to figure out how to position the photos that I post, so that perhaps I can include a caption to explain. It can't be too hard (I'll ask Jen). Lastly, the probability of continuing to post on weekends during the spring is quite low. That means I will be posting comments and photos from the weekend on Monday. Also, did anyone else notice the coincidence of the "Simpson's" episode last night being about Moe dating a "little person" (had to take down all the "Dwarf Tossing' signs at the bar)...and the fact that Annie L celebrated her birthday on the same day? I realize I am now in trouble, but I was nice to my mother-in-law ON her birthday (even let her leave with the bigger piece of Jen's leftover home-made cheesecake). Hope everyone enjoys opening day--I heard there is a chance that the Sox will be rained out today (I guess starting the season a half game behind the Yankees will be better than a full game). Congrats to our first "Egg Toss" champs of 2009--Jim & Karen LaBrosse. The beat out a whole bunch of little kids to claim the blue ribbons!

ReplyDeleteHey, we wouldn't have beaten those little kids if they had been just a little better. We had every intention of throwing the whole contest the next toss. Not our fault the little tykes smashed their eggs from 20 feet. I do believe this egg toss may have the record for the shortest distance ever.
