ice cream and baseball

Earlier this week I made good on the results of the poll: I had some soft ice cream.  While it wasn't the first thing I did, it was pretty tasty.  It's like the ordinary soft-serve ice cream you can get at a lot of soft serve joints, but a lot better.  The texture is smoother and the flavor is more rich.  I would recommend it to anyone.  Also, you can get twists of a lot more flavors than just vanilla and chocolate.  Delicious!

Last night was a one of the last baseball games of the season for the Syracuse Chiefs.  This is triple-a ball, just one level below the majors.  To contrast, the Tri-City Dust Devils are single-a minor league baseball.  The difference is pretty obvious, the level of skill is much higher, but there are still gaffs and goofs.  At last nights game, there were a few, but the best one was at dusk.  The ball was about the same brightness as the sky, and the batter hit a towering fly ball(!), which I lost in the lights.  It seems that everyone else lost it too, including three or four fielders and and a couple of base  runners.  Luckily it didn't hit anyone, but did comedown just outside the infield between first and second base.  I think the batter got a double.  No error for that play.

Thats all for now!
