Strange Days

Originally uploaded by AmericaninCanada. Today I had to meet with my Russian History professor, so I packed up Ginny Grace and we drove into town.
Gracie was raucous in my prof's office, not noisy, just wound up. She played with some blocks that my prof had, then she was given some rubles to play with...of course she really liked the money (so her mother's daughter).
I took her over to the JCR to give her some lunch and we ran into Rachel and had a chat while GG munched some Cheerios. Then out in the courtyard I took a ton of pictures of her and this is the one I thought came out great (you can look at some others at my Flickr).
We picked up Shell and drove straight to my game, where the girls dropped me off and headed home. They were supposed to come back and get me at 8:30 after my game but...

It started to drizzle as the game began, and somewhere in the 4th inning, one of the spectators was leaning against the light pole and accidentally shut off the lights. Since they're the type that takes a half hour to restart AND it was by now pouring rain, they called the game (postponed until tomorrow night). So one of the guys gave me a soaked ride home where I found Gracie and Shelley making me some yummy dinner and cleaning up so I wouldn't have to do anything tomorrow.

[by the way at the time of the lights out we were losing 6-3, but I'd gone 2 for 2 and driven in 2 of our 3 runs...the rescheduled game tomorrow night starts from scratch] For some reason tonight though I'm feeling rather down...can't seem to figure it.
