January 26

Ah, 'tis the season for baseball to begin.

And Mr. Brady had his first practice as a member of the Majors Pirates this afternoon. We've never had this particular coach and he doesn't know many of the other boys on the team --save one from last year's AAA team and one from his old elementary school-- but I know he's glad to be out there playing again.

I'm hopeful that win or lose (or tie), it will be a good experience for him (and for us). So for a fresh new season of ball that's not stained or hindered by COVID, I am optimistic and grateful.
