Thanks, wofa! Your-all's team was really good, too. Do you know any of the kids? Did they get to the...finals?

Our kids defeated the team from Sendai, Japan, to win the Little League World Series. These teams are of 11- and 12-year olds. I of course don't follow baseball, let alone Little League, and had never heard of this league, though it's only 5 miles from my house. But I, after this week of playoffs, am sure proud of the effort these kids have put out--along with most of Louisville, I think. The local media are having a field day. The kids'll be feted when they get home, that's for sure. They've already missed a week of school. They're to be on Good Morning America (a national TV show) tomorrow.
