Ass Over Tea Kettle

Dominic couldn't wait to get to the diamond and hit some baseballs. So on Friday night we grabbed the bucket of balls, his bat, hitting gloves, mitts and of course Tommy too.

We warmed up by throwing the ball to each other, Dominic with no concern for Tommy's inability to catch a hardball. As Tommy took to play first base Dominic got a couple of really good pitches from me to swing at and let them pass. Then it happened, he made contact, a pop up that at first seemed like it was going to head right into my glove...but it started to go over my head, so I started to back peddle, then turning, reaching only to get my foot caught then going ass over tea kettle.

As I lay in the dirt with my boys laughing at me and the high school kids playing ball in the adjacent field I could only recall my Dad tripping over the boat trailer only to think how un-graceful he looked going down.

Life does go full circle doesn't it
