Beye, Beye, Beye

This Marshalltown Bobcat came our way Wednesday morning thanks to MHS junior sister and MSDA dancer extraordinaire, Anna. I asked Matt and his father, Kevin, how they tracked me down and they simply pointed to the smiling guilty party who was along for support on this day. (I think she was just taking notes for NEXT summer) :-)

Matt was a quiet fella for about 1/2 the session until I opened up a can of worms by bringing up Major League Baseball. My senior on this day was either just being polite when he noticed my Chicago Cubs hat on the dash of the H3... or.... perhaps he was just lying in the weeds waiting to pounce. :-) For you see, Mr. Matt is a die hard St. Louis Cardinals fan...... and if you know anything about the MLB..... rivalries don't get any more tense this side of The Big Apple and Beantown.

So... it was ON the rest of the session as Matt and I traded barbs about our favorite squads. I will admit that he was very knowledgeable...... but I did have to break the news to him that his closer Jason Isringhausen's career may be over with an apparent elbow injury. Sorry, dude. Ok... maybe not so much. ;-)

It's always easier to be gracious when your team has an 8 game lead in the standings.
