The First Week

Life has become hectic after being appointed General Secretary this year. People thought I was crazy to accept the role considering that I am working full time and studying part time. Wifey has been very accomodating of this and has promised to help me out with the additional responsibilities. If some of emails have a feminine touch to it, you now know why.

What a week it has been and I must say I was mighty pleased with the way Washington Park looked when I walked in early on Saturday. The grass was well cut, the boundaries and the 30 yard circle were marked. My cover drive did manage to almost reach the fence, it was a great feeling.
Teams that played in WP-1 didnt quite share the experience that we did, but in all, I heard some good words from all the teams. Magnus did a terrific job.

Our first game against United did not go according to plan. Catches win matches and that was very evident in our game. They caught half, quarter chances while we dropped sitters. Sunil Kulkarni took blinders, one of Anand and other of Vinod to completely turn the momentum in their favor. I was in the non-strikers end when a full toss was smashed by Vinod back to the bowler(Sunil) who dived and caught inches above the ground.

We now travel to Wisconsin, where another United(Milwaukee United) team awaits us. Hopefully, its our turn to take the catches and get 4 points.

Washington Park certainly looked good last week. Good Job, guys. Keep this up. The bathroom is too far away and we need something closer.

We are working with the city to get the port-a-potties. We were promised 6, but nothing was delivered.
