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

good fences make good neighbors
dear neighbor,
we have spent the last five years growing in the hedges so that they are even. this year, when they finally are getting close we hired landscapers to come in and professionally trim them at our expense.
while i understand you may trim the hedges on your property any way you see fit, you have no right to trim our hedges on our property. it is uneven, unsightly and most of all unappreciated.
i am sorry that you felt you couldn't come to us if there was a problem.
