day five: the game

it's just a game.

unless it's a lineage.*

and a lifeline.**


*in the bloodline. i've mentioned matt's grandpa played ball on the san francisco seals with joe dimaggio, yes? yes. and my grandpa coached the high school team. not as glamorous, perhaps. but he does have part of the Pacific Grove recreation department named after him. that ain't nuthin.

**fall is when the games get good and usually when the beard (not brian wilson) hits the road. i've texted through more baseball games with matt and jote than i can count. play by play, like they're both here with me. baseball eases the transition from four to three.

thanks baseball. and thank you for getting over that home run records breaking all the time phase you had. that wasn't pretty.
