Ah. Playing catch with Dad. One of the great American pastimes. It happens all across the country: the weather gets warm and the gloves come out. Tossing the ball around a backyard or a park or even a baseball diamond is as American as apple pie. Nay, MORE American that apple pie. I'm a grown-man (sort of) and even I picked up the old glove and threw it around with the old man. It was just like old times. Except that we played in Central Park and I stepped in dog shit. And we both haven't played baseball in years. And we're both old now.
But other than that, it's just like old time. Dad sure knows how to handle the old glove 'n balls.
Yep.
Dad just rubs on some oil and then shoves his fingers in. Sometimes the whole fist.
Relax, turn around, and take my hand...
