So normally I don't like watching baseball, but Tucker is a real go-getter. He does still have his problem of keeping track of his things. Mostly his uniform socks. Well, just one sock. So he has his long striped sock and then he gets one of Tim's socks and pulls it up as high as he can. The fans love it. I just shake my head. He plays first base because he can catch well and he plays shorts stop because he can field - third base because he can throw accurately to first base- then usually three innings of pitching. He's kind of wild (like the movie Bull Durham) but when he's on he really fires it in there.
India's track coach said she's a great long distance runner because she has a nice smooth stride. One practice the coach had her run the 4oometer. India wasn't thrilled. The coach was impressed but told me India didn't talk to her the rest of the practice. Her teacher said she's very bright when she's not socializing with the other kids. Hmmm.
Christian plays with the High Schoolers and is an awesome shooters as well as making great moves to penetrate the key and dish it to the big guys. Of course he keeps waiting for his growth spurt. He is very popular and has a cute, smart and atheletic girlfriend. The sit together at all Tuck's baseball games and go to the movies on group dates.
Tim loves his job. Last year's graduation was a joke I guess, so they had the kids dress up and got many compliments from the community. Tim gave a terrific speech. He has a crazy schedule this summer and is already doing lots of summer tourneys. He will be co-coaching with a highly negative coach; we'll see how that goes. We're having to hire a nanny/high-schooler because he will be gone over five weeks this summer and I need my sleep during the day. The kids have an unlimited swimming pass, unlimited golfing, and many kids that like to play Xbox, that singing/guitar/drums game, and then they have a trampoline across the street that they play some sort of jumping basketball game where they rigged a hoop. Oh and the baseball field just a few blocks away and bikes.
I still enjoy my job and now we have two night people. One can't speak English, but the other is a highly intellecual young man that helps me pass the time away. I'm pasty white and refuse to wear my shorts until that changes. Vain I know. I've made a few really good friends and though I'm not writing, I kicked everyone out of my writing room. I will have fresh flowers, my own stereo system, decorations that I like and no-one stealing my pens or leaving dorito bags on my shelf.
Can't wait to see everyone at the reunion.
Love Traci and family.
