As such, I found it fitting to receive, today, a little more hardware for my cabinet:

RMSL Softball Trophy

RMSL Softball Trophy

This goofy trophy represents a great team effort by the Ashmont Grill Lightning in this fall’s Rick Sylvia Memorial Softball League. I joined the league a week late in order to get out of the house and socialize a bit with some other men in the area. By chance, I was placed on one of the strongest teams. Although we were stymied by excessively rainy weather, we managed to see the season through to completion.

As a rusty newcomer, I was placed in right field, a position with which I was familiar from my little league days (Pittsburgh Pirates… ’nuff said). Out in right field I managed to look busy, miss a few fly balls, and learn who all the lefties were in the league. Thankfully I was a bit better at bat, and managed to contribute my fair share of runs.

When all the data was tabulated, lo and behold, the Ashmont Grill Lightning was victorious, beating out the Alley Cats and Club Cafe Blue Ballers (sorry pretty boys…). The league was great fun, with stiff competition and positive vibes, a welcome respite from club culture.

So when you see me at the gym in my green team t-shirt, feel free to praise me like you should.

Apparently, this is something that is held around the country which attempts to bring together massive amounts of Jews to share a Shabbat meal. Because of the large number of people (not sure it was 1000 though,) it was held in the gym of the athletic center here. As you might imagine, the gym has terrible acoustics, so when the Rabbi (Orthodox Chabad) began speaking through a makeshift loudspeaker system, it was very difficult to hear and understand him.

Anyway, after the women lit the candles, the Rabbi was apparently forbidden to use electronic devices. I missed this transition because I was up wandering around. So I was quite surprised when I glanced to the dais to see the Orthodox Rabbi slamming the table in fury because he was being totally drowned out and was unable to get the attention of the rather talkative audience. It was just this brief moment, but he was pissed as hell and it made me laugh a bit. I must be evil. Anyway, he did regain some semblance of control (but really, what were they thinking?) and after a short inaudible service we were allowed to eat! Aah, redemption!
