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

cluster do their posing

and then as the flag was displayed sing our national anthem

while I took close ups

before Jane emerged from the singing 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

as Jane and John fit into a frame 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
