Rain Drops Keep Fallin' on My Head, Keep a Fallin'

There is a great risk tonight of our game being canceled for the third day in a row. A heavy blanket of clouds has smothered us since Saturday evening. The skies are gray. The air is sharp and chilly and heavy with moisture. Despite Sheryl Crow's advice, we have not been able to "soak up the sun." This might be normal for residents of Washington or Oregon, but for a native of Phoenix, it is a suffering, particularly when there is no baseball to relieve the house-bound monotony. 

McKenzie and I consequently plan to escape. Tomorrow we flee west to happily spend a week soaking up the Arizona sunshine. Unfortunately, Josh will have to brave the weather without us, but only for a day. The team leaves on a week long road-trip Thursday. They will again play Erie and Akron, whom they have faced a combined 20 times in the last month. 

We are so excited to see our family and friends back home. Please keep us all in your prayers as McK and I leave on a jet plane and Josh goes on the road again, traversing the world on the bus. 

More later from a sunny place!
