Wednesday Night

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am home at a reasonable hour!

Tonight was the earliest we finished the paper, at approximately 1:30 a.m. Super!

Anyways, since it's late, and I have an 8 a.m., this entry will be short, and since i just spent my evening making a newspaper, I will be writing a newsy form.

Top Story: Whitmore and Welch Invent a New Game

So during our break, Ben and I headed to the fieldhouse to toss a tennis ball and hit it with a wiffleball bat. We had no organization to the game when we started, but by the time we left, we had created a new game, "Tennis Ball Fieldhouse Extravaganza!"

To play is simple. The pitcher sets up at the center of the basketball court, while the batter sets up at the foul line. The pitcher throws the ball. If the batter swings and misses, it's an out. If they hit the ball and it goes past the center line, it's a point. If the ball hits the ground before the center line, the pitcher must successfully catch the ball to count as an out. Otherwise it's a point. If the batter hits the ball and it doesn't make it past the center line, it's an out. You play until one team gets ten points, alternating after three outs, just like baseball.

We threw in a few fun things here and there, like spinning before hitting and pitching, or just running around for moments with no real purpose. We plan on starting a bracket, making this a weekly game during downtime at the paper. I think the league could go places for sure.

In Other News: Phil Devitt comes to Visit!

Yes friends, Phil came to visit tonight. He had to bring me a form to sign to be sure I could get paid for my articles, but he also just wanted to stop by and say hi. It was like old times at the paper, especially since I was constantly distracted by youtube.

But what really made my night was that Phil finally developed the photos fromt eh disposable camera we had in the office for over two years. There were photos of Mike, Sarah, Phil and myself. We all looked pretty stupid, but it brought back some great memories. The top three are hanging on our wall now. Come check em out!

Peace!
