Day 258: Activities

Base­ball Coach — $67.00
This check cov­ers two baseball-related activ­i­ties.  First is The Son’s share of a tour­na­ment fee.  I can’t remem­ber exactly what the date of the tour­na­ment is but it should be a lit­tle more fun than the last one because they don’t allow any “ringer” tournament-only teams to come in a make them­selves look good by play­ing against teams of a much lower skill level.

The sec­ond part of the check cov­ers two tick­ets to go see a big league game next month.  The Son’s team will get to join lots of other local Lit­tle League teams in a parade around the dia­mond before the game starts.  I vol­un­teered to car­pool some of the team since it’s a mid-week after­noon game and likely that sev­eral par­ents will not be able to attend.

Daughter’s School — $25.00
A dona­tion to the school’s drama depart­ment.  The Son and I went to watch the Senior Class play in which The Daugh­ter (a Junior) had a small sup­port­ing role.  They did an excel­lent job.  There was no admis­sion fee but there was a col­lec­tions hat after­ward in which I placed my $25 check.

The check to the school will be clas­si­fied as a recre­ation: enter­tain­ment expense.  I’m so glad I decided to add that cat­e­gory to my bud­get as part of my New Year’s res­o­lu­tions.  If all goes well, I’ll have another expense in that cat­e­gory to report tomor­row — a con­cert I’m really excited at the prospect of being able to attend.  Stay tuned.…
