Listen "Kicking for the Fences"
Episode Synopsis
Burly Flow opened its first kickball field a couple of Saturdays ago, and it was a pretty big deal. Not, like, Governor flies in on his chopper big, more like speeches and brats big, but still — for around here, that qualifies.
Though most have fond memories of playing kickball in school and many say that no sound brings them more pure joy than the sound of a proper kickball being kicked, I myself have no such feelings. Like anything that requires athleticism or coordinated effort, I’m not very good at it, which means I tend to avoid it, which means I have no experience with it, which starts a chain reaction that ends with everyone, including teachers who are trained and paid to know better, laughing at me.
