Keep Your Eye on the Ball

Today will tell the tale (or should that be 'tail' .. since we are talking about fish?) of whether or not this year's music camp needs a "red herring" (something to divert everyone's attention .. not a dried, smoked and salted fish .. though that would actually be both) on Sunday night.

At one o'clock we will do the final run-through of Sermon on the Mound and see if this "team" is really "ready to play" .. or should that be see if this "school" is "ready to swim" (fish or baseball reference? .. there are so many options my head is swimming like Dizzy Dean's)?

We certainly don't want to get caught "up the creek without a paddle" on Sunday evening at six o'clock (for what it's worth .. I hate these lame attempts at humor even more than you and I'll be glad to 'wave' goodbye .. oops, I did it again .. to the subject on Saturday).

From what I saw (and heard) yesterday morning, this is going to be even better than last year's musical, It's Cool in the Furnace .. if we don't have too many 'baked fishes" from being in the swimming pool all afternoon on Thursday.

Aw, I'm sure I'm just "all wet" (please help me .. I can't seem to stop) for even entertaining such a thought.

I'm pretty sure it's "safe" to say Sunday night is going to be a "home run" (okay, I'm back on baseball references).

Just you wait and .. "sea" (I'm going crazy here!!).

"The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness."
