June 14, 2008--Thanks, Jay.

I was just outside, throwing balls to Jay so he can practice his batting, and he was doing pretty good, actually. The coaches have had him batting left-handed for some strange reason, and he's struck out every time. I had him batting right-handed and he was hitting everything I managed to throw in the strike zone (so I'm not a good pitcher, sorry!) and they were going really far, too. I was doing a lot of running after balls.

I was finally getting tired and said, "Wow, Jay, you're making me get my exercise today!" and he answered, "That's okay--you were looking a little chubby."
