Isn't "June is busting out all over" the song that Jay Mickelson always sang at the Latin banquet at Riggs High School in Pierre? I think so, but I can't remember exactly why that is the song he sang. . . . . .
President Clinton's appearance in front of Old Main at USD Friday night was delayed for a half-hour or so by a thunderstorm that blew through. But it was nice later. I could hear his voice over the P.A. system from our front door, so Oliver the dog and I took a hike up to the campus and got close enough to see him from the distance. Maybe it's his white hair, but his face always has such a red, ruddy complexion hue to it. Even from a hundred yards or more away! . . . . .
On Saturday I spent seven straight hours at the Vermillion ballpark on the most beautiful day of the year. Sunshine but enough of a breeze to make it not only bearable but very pleasant indeed. Perfect, in fact. I have to write a story about each of those games, also an interview with one of our high school players, also a preview of next weekend's Legion tournament, so I will have a lot of "stuff" in the Plain Talk sports section this coming Friday. . . . . .
Hot enough today so that Dylan got to go to the swimming pool a block from the house with his mom. She said he dived off the diving board at least eight times, and together they rode down the long, curvy slide at the other end of the pool. . . . . .
Heather is playing softball, so she and Dylan are heading over to Yankton for her first game tonight. I'm staying home to cover an amateur game over at the ballpark here. . . . . .
One can tell it's the first of June. All over Vermillion, it seemed, people were emptying out houses and apartments and/or moving into them. Apparently all the rental leases expire June 1. . . . . .
This will be a crazy week. Dylan goes to Bible School at the church in the mornings this week, then to the daycare center in the afternoons. A lot of delivering and picking up this week! And finally the last primary elections will take place, including ours!
