Today was one of those really "feel-good" days. I had two great workouts--a long run in the humididity (OK, that part wasn't so great) and then hard rain and a long bike ride later in the afternoon.
My grades for my spring class were pretty good, esp some of the essays on the final exam. And I received a few nice notes from students--they were flattering and, as always, appreciated! I thank them.
I also received an e-mail from on of my Amherst professors. He informed me we won't be able to meet in October during Homecoming Weekend since he and his wife are moving to Kansas City (her home?). "I'm always glad to hear from you," he wrote. Talk about making one feel good! But, esp in light of the previous paragraph, such notes from my professors serve to keep me from getting a big head. In their presence, even Internet presence, still, after all these years, I am humbled. He was a great teacher and person.
About the only downer today was Ashley's game was stormed out. I was bummed as it is the Iron Pigs' penultimate game. But, in keeping with the "feel-good" nature of the day, I was informed that the game will be made up tomorrow eve. I'd better get my pitching arm ready! And, in lieu of the washout, I took the kids to Dairy Queen for Blizzards. I kidded Ash and the Codester that they were going to buy "Smelly Socks-flavored" Blizzards. When that idea didn't go over too well, I suggested "Tuna-flavored" Blizzards. Nope, they settled for chocolate chip cookie dough--good choices.
