The Austin American Statesman ran a front page story this morning on a 91 year old fan of the University of Texas that has been keeping score of every baseball game for the past 26 years. She does it in person or listens to the game on the radio. They included this picture of her in action at the game that was held on Friday afternoon. The real story, however, is that true baseball fan that is seated a few seats down from her.It's playoff time for college baseball. Texas is playing TCU in the best of 3 series in Austin. Because of television, they are playing each game in the afternoon. A good friend of mine thought it was more important to celebrate his 20th wedding anniversary in Napa Valley so he gave me the tickets. He's getting drunk and I'm on the front page of the paper.
My SPF 100 sunscreen isn't working. I'm a tad red after 2 afternoons in the sun. The series final is tomorrow afternoon. I hope I survive. I need to get one of those burnt orange shirts. I stick out in the crowd.
