Phantom of the Opera

Well, the anniversary has come and gone. Phantom was pretty good, we missed the first 15 minutes or so because I-5 was shut down and we were forced to go around the long way, but it worked out in the end. We had good seats in the upper balcony, first row, center stage. So coming in 15 minutes late probably upset all the people on the left hand side of the theatre when we had to walk directly in front of them. But this was during the big opera scene, so I don't think most of them should have cared. They didn't miss anything good.

The players in the company treading those boards were good. There were no crazy horrible singers there, which is always a concern. All in all, it was a good day. Good times were had by all.

On another note, T-ball is now over for the summer. We had our last game Saturday and our team party afterwards. It went pretty well, the whole team made the party and only one player said that they wouldn't play again next year. One of my girls, she always seemed to be having a good time and enjoying herself. Her friend was on the team as well, and they managed to start hanging out with the boys by the end of the year. But when I asked her after the party if whe'd be playing next year, she just said, "No." I found out later that her kindergarten teacher asked her if she liked playing T-ball and she responded, "No, I hate it." Them's strong words from a 6 year old.

But most of the team seemed to have a good time and they wanted me to manage a fall ball team this coming September, so I'm going to do that, even though one of the more experienced T-ball coaches advises against it. But I figure, 6 weeks, 12 games, no practices? Doesn't sound that bad. But I guess I'll find out. I still need to get the sign in stuff from the fields. And since I know you're anxiously awaiting updates, they will be forthcoming.
