Ball Game Perfect Place To Meet Friends


Glancing down the third base line to the bleachers, I spotted two familiar faces and an exmple of friendships in need of renewal and lives that needed catching up with, Wil Denson and his wife, Judy Sims. They had chosen to climb high up into the bleachers and sun themselves in the late May sun, so I did the same, bum knee and all.

Only trouble with catching up with friends during the game is there is no instant replay. If something big happens on the field, you've missed it! But we visited anyway, and all the while I am wondering about the ettiquette of striking up a conversation mid-inning and if this is, in fact, irritating to Wil and Judy. Geez! Here's a thought, Larry. why didn't you ask?

At any rate, it was really good to see those two. I also was able to visit a bit with Don Finch, who is so much an important cog in the Cavalier wheel. I reached an agreement with Don that I would put a band together to perform an hour before the Cavs game on Thursday, June 28th, Bothun Night at the park. That's always a good time and I look forward to it.
