Oh, this is a red-letter day. The newest edition of my favorite baseball computer game has been released.
It is Out of the Park Baseball 11, and the links for the download were sent out early Monday morning. (I had pre-ordered.) Within minutes of seeing it, I was downloading the game. A few minutes later, I was installing it. And then I started importing my old league. But importing leagues is a process that takes a lot more than a few minutes--it was still chugging away as I left for work.
I'll probably be trying out the game tonight. It's one I enjoy a lot. The latest incarnation of the Northwoods League (all teams from our region) will be in operation, as we wonder whether the Iron River Ravens will do better than they usually do. Time will tell.
Meanwhile, fate has dictated a change in my plans to visit N this week. I had been planning on a Tuesday night visit (the final night before the Stanley Cup playoffs begin). But we are extremely short-handed at the office this week. The office golf nuts want to swing their sticks Tuesday afternoon--if I leave for N's place at 2, there would be nobody manning the store. Then, on Wednesday morning, someone has to drive north to get a picture up in Amasa. Guess I'm that somebody.
So it makes the most sense for me to stay here, at home, Tuesday afternoon and night. I wrote N this afternoon, suggesting we delay the visit two nights, to Thursday. That way, I will still get to see the Red Wings' first games of the playoffs at Phoenix (Wednesday and Friday nights). And it might be better for her, too--she's working part of Tuesday, and temperatures on Thursday may reach 70. Maybe we can sit outside for a while.
The last time I visited her on a warm day was last September. She was cooking a steak, and I do believe I stepped out of the car barefoot above the ankles (after undressing about 100 yards down the road). She got a charge out of that.
