In response to "Baseball - Week 1"

Kåre Enga in Udon Thani

I hung around my older brother and his friends a lot, so I got hit with things frequently. I did get a hard baseball to the bridge of my nose, so definitely that would have broken glasses if I had worn them. The whole neighborhood played, the young kids and even the teens, boys and girls, no exclusions. But as those were the days when parents were careful about expenses, I can see where the glasses were protected. Nowadays, they make prescription goggle eyewear for those who play sports. Still, I don't think everything is better. There's something about being outside as a kid.

Wonderful poem. I see it in my mind.

I don't have these memories of my childhood. I couldn't see without my glasses and wasn't allowed to play with them. Someone throwing a ball at me was terrifying.

It was part of our daily summer activities, too and my backyard was the one that was long enough to make an acceptable baseball field with room for all the bases. I think we had better childhoods, kids don't spend all day outdoors anymore.

Around these parts, we played baseball almost every day, all day long. Everyone who showed up played, we just divided up evenly, sometimes as few as four or five per side. We'd start at 9ish AM and play until lunchtime. After that we would pile into someone's pool.

I like Flora. Much more than I liked Ryan at this point. Kids can be so selfish, but she was able to delay her gratification to let her foster brother have a treat the way that he had been unable to do so. I like the way you made everything seem so important. I remember in middle school, it seemed like anything that happened was potentially the end of the world. You've captured that well. Nice work.

Hah! Good one!

Now Ryan owes Flora big time, and methinks she might use that against him in the future.
Thanks for the fun read!
