On Sunday afternoon I caught my first baseball game of the year. I was just tired enough to sit and watch. When you are too tired to sit and watch a game … you question your diet, rethink your sleep habits, wonder about hydration and ask yourself about too much exercise, or too little. You begin to wonder if this is what it means to feel old.

I did take a few pictures at that game, and I should probably put a few of them up here before too much time passes.

It was never explained why she had a puppy at a baseball game.

As for the game itself, Auburn took a two-run lead in the fourth, and then allowed runs in the seventh, ninth and tenth in a frustrating loss. Clinton Freeman slid in ahead of the tag for that first score:

At least the weather was nice. And now it is getting colder again. What a terrible thing to complain about. We’ll be sitting in short sleeves and sunshine by Saturday.

Which is too many days away because I’m too tired, I thought this morning, for the rest of the week. By the afternoon I was starting to feel better, like myself, awake. So it probably isn’t hydration, then.
