softball
I am going to hit the batting cages at Chelsea Piers. I have until next Friday to decide whether to join the Kaplan softball team. That is, I have to figure out if I am good enough. I am pretty bad at all sports, softball not being the worst, but that isn't saying much.
The last time I played softball was when I was in fifth grade on the town softball team. There was only person worse than I was-- Emma, this British girl who wasn't even trying. So basically I have worse softball skills than the average ten year old. Plus, I don't even know the rules. I don't even watch baseball. I wouldn't know what to do even if I could hit the ball.
I often say that I would rather exercise by playing sports than by going to the gym (which I don't even do anymore because I dropped my membership over a year ago). Not that softball is much exercise. But I like the concept of sports, I like the idea of it, hanging out and having fun. At the same time I don't think it will be much fun if I am the worst player, or even one of the worst players.

I went on Friday night with Janica, forgetting all about Zack's writing group.
I think I will not join the team. As much as I want to, I'm obviously not good enough right now, since it took me several swings even to start making contact with the ball, and even after I got used to it, I wasn't consistent. I think there is too much I'd need to do to get up to speed, and I don't have that much time.
