At baseball practice Friday. Sean is standing in the batter's box, getting ready to bat. Coach is on the pitcher's mound.
Christiaan: Sean, you need a helmet! Your dad is... bad at aiming. *throws him a helmet*
Prescott (I think it was Prescott) - From the outfield: "Christiaan!!! Is that my helmet?"
Christiaan: Yeah.....
Prescott: Well, stop taking it out and not putting it back!
They were playing some kind of game where you got points depending on how far you hit the ball... and Noah had 2 points. He came up to bat and hit a ball to the fence (which was 5 points) and then he hit another that was going towards the fence... and towards Joel. It was hilarious for Sarah and I, who were sitting on the bleachers waiting to take Joel home. Coach, and all the guys watched and started shouting. "Joel!!!!!! STOP THE BALL!"
Noah got another 5 points. But Sean won at the end with 14 points to Noah's 12.
Baseball practice is so funny to watch. It's really funnier if you're there.

Baseball practice
Sunday, October 5, 2008
In ten years there will be a record of this...
At swim practice Friday morning, we were doing 25 sprints. Coach Marty would say, "Take your marks...go!" at the appropriate intervals for everybody. But most of the people kept false starting (not me, I am very happy to report). So after a while, Coach Marty sighed and said in a rolling-eye-ish tone of voice, "Alright guys, let's practice going on the 'go' and not on the 'take your marks.'"
Tim K. (from improv) and I were on the topic of Led Zeppelin, and he started talking about a video of the reunion tour he had watched on YouTube. "Have you seen Robert Plant's hair? It's still long, but it's all white. He looks like a witch...a witch with a perm."
Mrs. Avery on the subject of the looming mid-term: "Don't think of it as a dreary mid-term test. Think of it as a mid-term PARTY!!"
Also, I shook my head when Mrs. Avery said this, because I knew as soon as she did that I would quote her on here: "In ten years nobody is going to know we extended the date for the Beowulf paper three times..."
*smirks*
