Go in Peace

Dear Josh Hancock,

You wore the uniform with pride because you knew what it represented. No matter what the circumstances where when you took the ball, you always gave us your very best effort. You were a part of something magical here in St. Louis.

Thank you, Josh, for your grit, and your hustle. We will remember you fondly, and we will pray for you and your loved ones.

Rest peacefully, and root for your Redbirds.

Quote of the Week

"Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable,
and lightness has a call that's hard to hear,
I wrap my fear around me like a blanket,
I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it,
I'm crawling on your shores...

...There's more than one answer to these questions
pointing me in a crooked line,
and the less I seek my source for some definitive
the closer I am to fine."

- Emily Saliers

Who Put the Holes in the Bats?

In what alternate reality are we living when the great Albert Pujols is hitting near the Mendoza line after improving this week?

Is the world coming to an end?

Is the planet turning upside down?

Are the laws of physics no longer valid?

Does it not say somewhere in the book of Revelation that one of the signs of the second coming would be when Albert Pujols can no longer hit? I swear I read that somewhere...

We must hope that Albert awakens from his slumber. For the time being, he remains a hibernating monster. When he arises, pitchers will run in terror...

New Beginnings

Nothing like a new place, some old friends, some new friends, and a party to make you really feel like it's finally your home...

"Life is Interesting."

One of my best friends is fond of using the title of this post when talking about life, and I've always thought it was a neat way of looking at things. Not good, not bad, not indifferent. Life is interesting. Interesting implies a lot of different things. Several other ideas and thoughts pop into my head when I consider what interesting means. Things like suspenseful, exciting, complicated, intriguing.

Sometimes in life different things and people enter and leave. Circumstances change. Doors close and doors open. The best part is, we get to make our lives as interesting as we want to.

Take an adventurous step forward today.
