I was in DC and forgot to record my pictures so that on my return, I couldn't go out to the ball game until I processed this picture of my lunch at the train station restaurant
and this picture of the tablecloth.
That work done, I returned to have a meeting with Laszlo Trankovits of the German Press Agency
and then, we could celebrate the next-to-last day of school by going out to the ball game
where grounds crew
were cleaning the field at 33 minutes to game time
and the water
inspired the other needed part of a ball game -- the hot dog
which Ben displayed
with French fries
and then bit into
leaving visible change
as Jane had his drink
and Suzanne
bit into her hot dog
as Sarah ate a French fry
and the watering continued
through my self portraits
It was award time for the little league of Levittown, first the green team
then the black team
and finally the red team
during which time Fred, Andrew and Lucy arrived and posed for pictures
as I studied my bingo card
and the crowds of first ball pitchers arrived
as some of the Cranbury gentlemen arrived to fill our section
What we were all waiting for was for the singing group to emerge

and joined the others
as she made her way to a seat
with Caitlin and Catherine
and then moved on
to her seat
as the game began
though Andrew and Lucy
and John
Fred
Devon
Catherine and John Yi
and Lucy
all seemed more interested in this self portrait Jane took
before they played the game of musical chairs

and the discussion continued
while Tommy and Ned watched
and the cotton candy salesman walked by
as Ben and Joel ate their ice cream dots
only to be interrupted when a ball landed near by and I captured it
as the next batter was up
and headed to first
when the photographer appeared
to take this picture of Around 8
and then the grounds crew came back and did their thing
which made me thirsty
for well lit water
and seemed to inspire Sarah to win at baseball bingo
even as the game rolled on
and Boomer appeared in our section
