Last summer I always wondered why they bothered to put up a concession stand with barbecue and all when the baseball practices started. Now I know. Two to three hours in a cool April evening and you're happy to stuff yourself with a hamburger or a hot dog or a soup. And for the record, I did my first concession duty.

A is still enjoying the end of the game relay after two and a half hours. He needed a bit extra motivation when we biked uphill back home but didn't complain.
