I think Tennyson was actually speaking of love but that's probably only because he didn't understand the passion of baseball. Heck, maybe they didn't even have baseball back then. Isn't he English? Wouldn't that make it cricket over there anyway? And obviously cricket and baseball are miles apart.
So, both boys are in baseball. B is in the minor leagues and T is in his second year of t-ball and I, for ill or good, am in my 3rd year as a board member of our local youth baseball association. Why they chose me I will never understand. I do know that I enjoy the games and I get a bit of knitting done so it's all good.
Speaking of the knitting, I attempted a sock and am thinking of frogging the whole thing on account of the wonky bits on the heel. I finished a couple of burp rags for a friend who is having a girl (she has 4 boys, poor woman-she is due for a girl!) and I have a few WIPs on the needles that I have little interest in finishing right now. Here's what I started last night.
It's called the Ballband Dishcloth. It's the pattern that comes on the paper label on Peaches and Creme 100% cotton yarn. T said it looks like blue bricks. The fun thing about it is that it looks best in bold, funky colors. I was thinking pink and orange might look good too so that might be next.
Finally, my new favorite station on XM Satellite Radio is Sunny, Channel 24. I don't know how to describe it but they play lots of stuff. Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, The Beatles, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Jim Croce, Heart, all kinds of stuff. Right now they are playing Eye of the Tiger so I guess it can't all be good. However, if you have the XM, give it a listen.
