Today we met Mike Carmichael and his wife Glenda at their home in Alexandria, Indiana. Mike has been painting a baseball for the last 30 years, it is now the biggest ball of paint in the world with 21,201 coats of paint, and we got to paint coat number 21,201! Each coat is a different colour from the last, we choose yellow, mike handed us the rollers and the rest is now history. We signed the ledger detailing when we painted the coat, and what colour, while Glenda prepared our official certificates. Then, to our surprise, Mike offered to take us all out for lunch, which we gleefully accepted. Mike and Glenda led us to a nice little local dinner and we had a slap up feed. Mike and Glenda were great, really friendly and generous – we left Mike to return to the ball and add another a few coats, that man knows a thing or two about dedication.
