The thing about coaching little league in Cicero is the proximity of wetlands and swamps that breed mosquitoes. Last night, as we learned to ground balls, bat and pitch with 8, 9 and 10 years olds, we also practiced swatting mosquitoes that were overly ambitious to feast on our ready-to-appreciate-the-warm-sun skin. There are very few things I despise in this world as much as the blood sucking bugs that come with warm weather. They aren't as annoying as the deer flies of Vermont, but they are mutually as pesky. We are a quirky breed of mammals who love our outdoor sports, but we must endure the joys of summer vermin, too.
