Day of Rest

Today’s Weather 72 and cloudy
No Game

Well, the weather was perfect for a game today but unfortunately there was not enough response. We had to compete with softball and also I get the feeling some people were just resting some aches. I know when I got up this morning and rolled out of bed my knee had a couple words for me… “Slow down there sports fan” and “Don’t you remember how old you are?”

So today wound up being Ultimate Sabbath. Please hold your emails (as if anybody’s leaving any comments to begin with). I’m not trying to make any derogatory or otherwise any kind of comment about the meaning of Sabbath. I appreciate the importance of that term for many of you and use it with deference to that significance. We had gone over two weeks of playing every work day and there was probably some value in taking a day off. Let the fields lay fallow, if you will.

Speaking of fields, there was talk yesterday after having scampered off to the new “old field” of moving our games back there. The grass really did seem a little plusher and have a bit more cushion to it and unless there are some strong objections to walking the extra hundred yards, BPUC will resume its presence on the “lower” fields. If you’re scoring from home, it’s actually north on your maps from where we have been playing. For you lawyers, make a right when you get to the first street and keep walking past the fenced playground.

I’ll be making a rare Friday appearance in D.C. tomorrow and will be calling a game if enough of the rest of you Buzzards are here to play.

Pull!
