I was sitting against the fence along the first base line when this ball came straight at me. I clicked the shutter, looked up, and dodged. Just barely missed me, and I was sure to pay closer attention the rest of the game.

If you haven't heard the tragic news yet; Minor League coach Mike Coolbaugh (previous Major League player for the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers over two seasons) died Sunday after being struck in the head by a line drive as he stood in the first base coach's box during a game in Arkansas.

Very sad news, and really makes you pay more attention out on the field when shooting pictures.

Hannah (dressed as Professor Trelawney) picks up her copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows at Old Harbor Books in Sitka, AK.

I actually just finished the book; while I am sad that the series is finished, I was satisfied with how it ended. I won't give anything away, but I got a little worried about how Ms. Rowling was gonna pull through in the end there... things got a little wacky for a bit.

He's away for a couple weeks playing All Star Little League Baseball... I miss him, so this has been my desktop for the past few days.
