Hi all,
December is a busy time, not taking into account baseball......
Monday - Masters v Fitzroy - they had to call it early due to the sunshine - result:draw, Tuesday - Finally got my tax done, Wednesday - another thrashing at softball, Thursday - Umpiring at Altona, Friday - Claxton shield - well I went! But after a week of having something on every night this week, to a Saturday of no baseball...I seemed a little lost yesterday as the rain came tumbling down and down and down.... I hear it even rained this morning...Not here in sunny Ocean Grove... and I am pleased not this afternoon.

Anyway a day off baseball allowed me to get the Xmas shopping done and some souvenir shopping done to be able to give to my new friends in the USA.

Just 11 days to go, and i am just wishing for the Australian dollar value to improve! Up a little toward the end of the week, which is hopefully a good sign.

Might consider thinking about what to pack this week... considering I actually have a couple of nights at home..
