I want to thank everyone who has expressed concern for Emma during this difficult time. For better or worse, right or wrong, we've told her the whole truth about this situation, so there's no need for anyone who sees her to feel that there are any secrets that need protecting. She's scared, of course, but she's also much tougher than she looks. . .sound familiar?
Today was a banner day for Emma, though. As many of you know her great passion is playing catcher for her fast-pitch softball team (puzzlingly named "The Wyoming Babushkas"). Emma was behind the plate today as Audra Chalmers and Gabby Potvin combined to pitch a no-hitter against Sharonville. The Grandmothers. . .sorry, Babushkas are now 2-0 and really playing well.
Good luck to the team in Tuesday's game. And let's hope it's only one that we'll miss since that will mean things are going well.
We head back to Rochester tomorrow morning. . .

"The Wyoming Babushkas" is an odd name for a softball team, but maybe not as odd as a young woman running around the front yard in the early 1980's with a mitt on her head singing "We are the glove-heads, the mighty-mighty glove-heads, everywhere we go, people want to know who we are, so we tell them, we are the glove-heads"
Lot's of positive energy being sent to the Fighting-Babushkas and to Sherri!
Thad Matta (OSU basketball coach) went to Hoopeston-East Lynn High School in Illinois... Their mascot? The Cornjerkers. They were in my high school's conference and you couldn't help but snicker every time you heard that name. Oh, and we were the Gibson City Greyhounds. Go you underweight, hyperactive dogs!

P.S. Go Emma and the Babushkas!!!
