Building Pitching Boards
Spent yesterday morning cutting out and building washer pitching boards for the 4th of July family festival. The good thing is these boards can be taken to the clubs afterward and used for games there too.
Best part of this activity was getting to hang with my good friend Mike and his son, Michael. There is just something great about having a chance to chat, work, and complete a project with friends.
My dad understood that better than anyone as he would take his boys to places where someone needed a helping hand and there in a pea patch, or in the middle of thousands of pigs, or in a hayfield, you worked together, joked together, had great conversations together, and at the end of the day, celebrated a project completed together. Those were great times and some of the few times we were able to spend quality time with him as he was always at the office trying to provide for six boys and our mom.
Days like yesterday are days to savor. Okay, maybe not someone siphoning gas out of my tank... but still, for the most part a most excellent day.

It sure makes tedious and tiring jobs more enjoyable to have someone there with you, sharing in the tedium and tire:)
(It brings to mind hours of self-collating English education packets with fellow teachers in Japan. Nothing like paper cuts to bring people together...)
