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

books, books, books
it's that kind of day. one that begs for a cup of tea, a blanket and a good book.
(of course, napping kids would help!)
so....it's time for me to plug the book sites again. that's right kids. if you aren't reading prodigal summer, then go read it ;) ok, if you've ever read it and want to join in go ahead and stop over at the book group. there is also a place to review any ol' book you read. c'mon it's summer. i know you are reading!
and there are new reviews up at overdue books. some people *cough cough* are slacking. but i will forgive them for now. go on over and have a look at what's good to read and what not to read.
