I’M BACK

Any time I fail to realize that I’ve landed in the ideal place for my writing I need only think of this. My editor is as prone to fits of non-output as is this writer.

The editor of which I speak is John Embry. John graces these pages with his own writings from time to time, but will be the first to tell you that he won’t write when he doesn’t feel it, isn’t in the mood, doesn’t have time, or just doesn’t have anything to say.

T-ball this year consisted of six teams; Lil Firecrackers, Lil Lighting Bolts, Lil Rascals, Dodgers, Rescue Warriors (pictured above), and the Bad News Bears. This group was coach pitch and hit off the tee as well.  The future of baseball and softball in Butler County is bright.  Photos courtesy of Tiffani Jones Photography.
