My buddy Stretch flew in on January 31st to hang out with me while Sabrina is gone. (Currently I’m working on a longer post to talk about what we did during his visit.) Yesterday morning before Stretch flew out we heard that there would be a softball game at 9:15. We figured, “Hey, why not?” and proceeded to dinghy in to meet the other softball players. It ended up being one of the best decisions we made. We met a lot of other young guys that are here in Georgetown, and we hung out afterwards.
Today there is a happy hour and jam session scheduled, and most of the guys I met said they’d be going. This morning when they announced the happy hour on the VHF net, the announcer said, “Wear your Michigan colors, and let’s meet all the Michigan cruisers!”
This irked me for some reason, maybe it’s because she didn’t call it “School Spirit Night” or “Wear Your Favorite Sports Team Night” but “Michigan Night.”
So I quickly decided what I would be wearing:
Go Bucks!
Now if only I could get someone to quickly print on the back, “I’m a cat person, please keep your yippy dog away from me” and I’d cover all the folks I’m trying to avoid.
