Matt enjoyed a never-forget-it-as-long-as-I-live night at the Sky-dome to watch the Blue-jays try to sweep the series against the Texas Rangers.
He said there was a consistent eager hum of excitement in the crowd,
but when Donaldson slid across the home-plate clinching the extra-innings win the place erupted into a beyond-words noise-level of celebration!
Sometimes in life's
Swing and miss,
slip, trip and sprawl
Fumble a pop-fly,
or
get hit by a ball
...sometimes in life's
extra innings
before loss
Or new-season beginnings
after
a bat-toss
...sometimes in life's
hurt and dirt
Had a bad day
Bases-loaded
grounder
then a double play
Sometimes in life's game of
Hope, hit,
work hard,
fall
We meet with moments
that make it
Worth it all

September fears have turned to October cheers!
Happy Thanksgiving, Janet! :)
ReplyDeleteThank-you, Sasha. the day is a beaut! I think most Ontarians are spending it out-doors. I just returned from a nice,sunny bike ride after cleaning out most of the garden.
DeleteYesterday felt more like Thanksgiving here because we did our turkey-dinner. Our church youth group always does a bus-trip and hike on Thanksgiving Monday which is good 'cause then they can hike off Sunday turkey and stuffing etc. ;-)Jim always works on Thanksgiving because you guys are still open for business and he usually goes to Green Bay on Mondays.
Oh! and I must add that the win helped to add sparkle to smiles today! (The Toronto Blue Jays are beloved many Canadians because they are our only major league baseball team.)
