Family fun...

Getting plugged back into life here has not been easy. I've had some tough sickness that I believe personally is related to British Airways more than it is anything I ate or drank in Africa. Fever, Kenya's revenge, and a pretty consistent headache have overruled the days, and the rest of the family has been sick, so for the first time in my life, I've postponed sickness, in a matter of speaking. So, today, I crash hard.

Last night, we had a fundraiser at our AAA baseball team's home game. The Nashville Sounds. We played a pregame concert and one dollar from each ticket was donated to blood:water for drilling wells!

I met had the opportunity to deliver a ceremonial first pitch, and it went smashingly. I was low and inside, but if I was Greg Maddux, they'd have given me the strike. I got the "ooooo" from the audience, which was the best part for me.

Ella and Evan met Ozzie, and after the gig we hung in a skybox and ate hotdogs and drank c-dogs. :) It was wonderful. Lots of Samson folks came out, and many from Ella's preschool community, too! It was great to get some attachment with my Africa experience and my home community.
