Had the 2nd wiffle party last night. Went pretty well. Not nearly as good a turn out as the first one but we had 18-20 people there at it's height. Less people had it's advantages- few sat out any of the games, unlike last month when certain party goers had to wait out a couple games to get any playing time.
It was a fun day. Jordan showed up around noon bearing gifts. "Birthday" presents, he got Breanne a book called "Signspotting" that was a collection of photos of funny and nonsense signs collected all over the world. Some very funny stuff in it. Jordan got me a few records, Jazz mostly. He's burned me a few CDs over the years trying to introduce me to Jazz. 5 or 6 records, I'm listening to one now.
Anyhow, my brother was the only other person here by 1 (the start time). A few people cancelled last second, but every one else was just plain late. Lots of folks didn't show up till 2 or later. The Reardons came, Jesse and Joe, and Jess instantly got drunk on one Bud Lime Light and made the day especially entertaining. Chrismike, Zack, The Wings, the Vitis, Manda and Greg, and obviously Breanne, and Carrie and Matt showed up as wiffle ball was winding down. I'm probably forgetting some people, sorry if you're reading this now and I forgot about you.
We probably got 5 games or so in, with my brother being the obvious MVP, hitting multiple home runs and pitching and playing the field exceptionally. I couldn't hit a lick for some reason but I made some good plays in the field. Jesse also put in an MVP effort, lining a home run off of me and tattooing a double off the right field foul pole, thus granting himself the right to name it. He was leaning towards JM pole or something like that but I'm not sure what he went with. Ethan hit a HR off the left field pole, not long after Jesse hit the other one. It was generally accepted that he'd do it eventually, lining multiple balls down the first base line. I think I'm going to call his pole "Lucky's Pole" after his dream sobriquet, Lucky Corneo.
Everyone was pooped after 7 hours of wiffle so after a few Karaoke songs the party sort of dissipated till it was over.
I'm excited to see the pictures taken with Jesse's camera. I tried to snap some cool shots during the first game while I was umping.
