Pitching In


This will give you an idea as to how much my daughter loves softball—she volunteered to get up at 5 AM on a Saturday to help with a Valpo softball camp.  The only problem with that is Clare has the personality of a tyrannosaurs rex early in the morning.  Campers, beware.

The first part of the camp had to be indoors on account of wet weather.  Bad lights and sightlines led to Clare taking a line drive off one of her biceps during soft toss; all the dads were impressed how she didn’t flinch.  As ever, the girl had to send a picture of the bruise to her mother.  I mean, what are parents for?

With cleanup, Clare didn’t finish until 4:30, but there’s a reward for all her hard work.  Next weekend, she gets to go with the team when they play Purdue.  The education of an aspiring coach continues.
