1. If you could be anything, follow any career path, what would you do and why?
Not that I ever thought of it, but it would have to be a baseball radeo comintator.
I would be able to go to every red sox game and get paid for it. that alone is amazing but then to be able to describe things with such clarity, as people... as my twin does for me now. Not to mention I would be able to not only meet every ball player who puts on a redsox jersey, probably interview them. ... wow!
2. Who is your favourite superhero?
I want you to think of the word "superhero"
now, here's my answer.
Andre the giant
RIP

61. Baseball Date
It’s a sunny Sunday after noon
The flowers along the fence are in full bloom
There is a gentle breath that blows
People have gathered to watch the show
A boy and girl serving up lemon aid
50 cents, it was just made
Crowd getting louder in anticipation
No doubt, some on vacation
Everyone takes their place
My heart is starting to race
Looking around with a smile
Familiar faces sitting on the benches, some still going up the isles
First it was me, Danny and bobby
Along with big Mike, Slim, the Brown twins, and little Johnny
We wanted some competition
That was seven years ago, no one had this type of vision
Finding an empty field
Another group of kid, we made a deal
Every Sunday at the park
We would play baseball, till it was Dark
“IT’S YOUR TURN!” I hear little Johnny say
I pick up a bat, it is my turn to play
Standing at the plate, I look at the pitcher
He yells, “are you ready?!” I murmur, “you little bitcher”
“Ya I am ready. Let’s see what you got!”
I am frozen in time
I see this beautiful angel, I want her to be mine
Sitting there in blue t/shirt and jeans
Chewing gum, it seems
Wearing a hat, with light golden brown hair
A braded pony tail from the back, and skin that is fare
A twinkle in her eye
STRIKE THREE! Ha? I sigh
Heading back to the bench I get teased
“You make a better statue than batter, geees”
I just shake my head in agreement.
I sat down, looked out to the fence
There she was, my plane Jane with a baseball hat
See if I can find her after, so I can chap
The sky is a darker blue
Most of the people packed up, the lemon aid stand did too
It is almost dinner time
I want that lady to be mine
She is still sitting there
With no make/up to smear
I go into the club house with my team
A smile still on my face
Music being played, with a lot of base
Saying by to a few, I skip out
Hoping she is still there, I doubt
The sky is dark, no one around
No pretty lady to be found
I get sad, as I fear
Never will I see her, not around here
I turn away to go
I bump into someone, “sorry, I say” “hope you enjoyed the show”
“I couldn’t help notice, you looking at me”
“Wow” I think, “it is …she”
Flabbergasted, tongue tied, blushing furious
“ah um,” I started” you are so beautiful”
She gave a cute little laugh, “you are not bad yourself”
She puts out her hand, “my name is Stephanie”
I return the hand shake. “My name is Jody.”
“Would you like to grab a bite down the road?”
She replies, “g, I don’t know”
Standing next to her, I look her over
5 feet 2, I am attracted to you
“I will pick up the tab.”
“Wellll, ok, but I will have to call for a cab”
Taking her hand, I am in love
At the end of the night, I gave her a hug
That was ten years ago
Tonight we are going to the ultimate show
Going back to that same field
This is the biggest deal
All the boys will be there
Bobby is an uptown lawyer, Danny is a medicine man
The twins are accountants, big mike is a burnt out boxer, slim is a fireman
And little Johnny, he’s a singer, in a rock N role band
He is also my best man
Tonight I will give my vows and a ring
To the most beautiful thing
Beautiful Stephanie will be my wife
And I will be her handsome knight
