Things that are bringing me bits of joy right now:

My softball team has had a couple of kickass softball games the last few weeks, and I played so well this evening (multiple stretchy plays and a nearly unheard of (for us) tag play at first, balls hit into the outfield) that the home base umpire complimented me on a game well played. And my forearm is only slightly ouchy to boot. This may bode well for getting on the mat again after Labor Day. I may need a softball userpic. And an Aikido one.

I made a very tasty peach pie this weekend. I have leftover crust, and may experiment.

I'm going camping in Yosemite this weekend, for the first time in thirteen years [Edited to clarify: It's been thirteen years since I last went camping, maybe four since I was last in Yosemite].

Hanging out with folks is lovely.

Da Goobermensch flies out next Tuesday.

Much love to all.
