The Saga of Sam

The Saga of Sam

Chris Gensler was up for the weekend.  We pitched in the backyard; baseball practice starts this week.  Chris and Shaun were jumping on the trampoline.  You disappeared.  You had gone inside for a nap.  In the afternoon, we went to the Sports Authority to buy baseball spikes and then out to dinner.  This evening, you mentioned that you were getting fat.  You had mentioned this in passing a few days before.  Mom felt that your abdomen was slightly distended.  I felt you had eaten a big dinner and were possibly carrying some "winter" weight.  Mom was concerned.  I wasn't - you know how those nurses are.
