I Need A Miracle

Spring sports got underway this week, and here are at FotoFink, we are spreading our wings like a robin returning from winter vacation.  (Sorry about the disco there. It won't happen again) Softball  is a new undertaking here at FotoFink, which means we will be further clogging up the webpage with a new category. Our IT people are working on a solution there, but the last time we cleaned things up, there were actually complaints.  Unlike Facebook, FotoFink responds.  More importantly though, this game provided an exciting afternoon of competition for all six of us that came out to watch.

To preface the recap, let's be clear- shooting a game usually makes it hard to watch a game. More specifically, it makes it hard to follow a game. So the assumptions here may be very very wrong, but as always- just go with it. HR seemed down by a few runs, and also down to the final out. If you are pulling for the home team, you are thinking- I Need a Miracle. Backs against the wall though, the Royals managed a several run comeback, as Lehman struggled to get an out at first base and finish the game. In the end, whether they won or lost, the Lady Royals put up a few late runs to make the game interesting.

A few notes from the world of FotoFink-

Considering the direction of the sun, and the number of right-handed hitters (all but one? come on....), we are destined to see lots of batters from the posterior side. Let's hope for a cloudy day, or an away game with a south-facing field.

Thanks to Mary G for her help with identifying a few of the girls in the shots. If not for the late hour when the editing occurred, surely she would have been able to stay awake long enough to help name this, as-of-yet-unidentified player. Feel free to leave a comment to if you can help with this issue.  (Edit- More thanks to Mary, who let us know that our mystery player was Kelly Z)

Regarding the title today- If you are one of those jobless, hippie, tye-dyed, long-haired, unshowered folk that took every summer of the 70's & 80's off to "tour with the Dead, man..."- don't be too excited. Shakedown Street is hardly considered to be one of the Dead's masterpieces, and it is the only album of theirs in the lifelong project. It's actually a small cheat in that it is a step ahead of the current recording, but really- there was NOTHING on the Godspell soundtrack that was at all fitting.

As softball is new to the site, word of mouth will surely be appreciated. Feel free to spread these links around like the $3,000,000.00 Kenyan prince email.

Without further ado...
