Introductory Rites

First, let me say, "WELCOME!" Whether this is your first time here or your last, welcome.

Why are you here? Well, I'm not sure. I'm not you. Chances are you already know me and stumbled upon this through Google's new "Buzz" or maybe you follow me on Twitter.

Either way, you're here. So let me tell you what you're in for.

When I was playing softball as a young(er) girl, my father and I shared a joke about softball games on Sunday mornings. While we attended church for the majority of the year, we never attended on Sundays during the summer. Why? Because of softball.

Softball tournaments were always Saturday through Sunday; if not Friday night through Sunday. Even if you finished last in the round-robin brackets you played on Sunday morning. It wasn't long 'til we started considering Sunday morning games as "attending Our Lady of the Diamond," since we both chose softball over church.

Now nearly 25 years old, I'm a new coach. I've coached a 10U slowpitch softball team and now I'm also coaching 2 travel fastpitch teams: a 14U and a 16U.

And to be honest, I wrote a long blog about who I am, my history and all that jazz, and then Blogger--for some reason or another--lost it all. So I'll spare you all that goodness tonight.

What I hope to do with this blog, though, is to track the progress of my girls (who will remain anonymous), our league, our trips and my coaching. I hope you'll stick with me through it all.
