NY Mets 2006 NL East Champions!!
I believe in the church of baseball. I've tried all the major religions and most of the minor ones.I've worshipped Buddha, Allah, Brahma, Vishnu, Siva, trees, mushrooms and Isadora Duncan. I know things. For instance, there are 108 beads in a Catholic's rosary and there are 108 stitches in a baseball. When I learned that, I gave Jesus a chance. But it just didn't work out between us. The Lord laid too much guilt on me. I prefer metaphysics to theology. You see, there's no guilt in baseball. And it's never boring, which makes it like sex...It's a long season and you gotta trust it. I've tried them all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball - Annie Savoy Bull Durham

vacation aftermath
wouldn't be great if kids loved school? if just one morning they woke up and got ready and smiled and skipped out the door?
well, after a nine day break from school....
it isn't going to happen this morning! i have already been greeted with the following:
"please, i will do anything if you let me stay home."
"but my bones hurt. try taking my temperature again."
"the thermometer can't tell...i am sick on the inside."
"i am too tired"
"i don't like school."
"the puppy will be lonely if we all go to school."
"i will stay home and clean." ( a personal favorite)
off to shove their little butts out the door send them happily on their way...
