I PITCHED MY FIRST BALL....

Today, I went to the Indian Valley Public Library, but before I got the Library, I took a stroll (paseo) around the backyard. There were quite few people. There were a lot of children playing baseball. The parents were catching up (hablando, ponerse al día) and watching their children playing.
I sat down among the parents. I was eating peanuts. A while later I stood up and left the yard to get the Library. I saw a father that was piching (lanzar bolas de beisbol) to his son. He taught him how to pitch.
I went past, when a ball run just between my feets... I crouched down (ponerse de cuclillas), I got the ball and just then I heard a voice saying:

- "Hey, guy, please pitch the ball"

I saw him, I turned the ball between my hands, I blew it, I looked at him, I took aim just in the middle of his chest (pecho, masculino) and then I pitched it .... my first ball.


After that, I attended a Book Discussion in the Library. I was there with Deb and 12 peoples more. The book was "The Women" by T.C. Boyle. It was about Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous american architect. I loved his works. It was awesome. And I understood almost all, but I lost the nuances (matices).

And right now, I'm going to bed, I have to rest because tomorrow is a big day, the day that only her knows. She is waiting for me....

What about your english classes (teachers, colleagues, ...) Although day by day is enough (no se cómo se dirá que con el día a día tienes suficiente). This kind of experiencies should be funded by the administration (jeje)

Yo hubiera aprovechado y se la hubiera tirado a toda la cocorota, gritas "sorry" y luego a correr como una señora entrando al Corte Inglés el primer día de rebajas, ya sé, soy un poco cabrón, pero seguro que después te hubieras descojonado un rato largo, yo al menos sí.

Translation

Baseball is fine but I prefer cricket is more...boring? the next time you got a ball between your feet take it and run like "alma que lleva el diablo" then when you come back home you could say that you get it in a professional baseball match.
