Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Go RedSox!! They are up 2-0 over the Cards. But before we get all excited about the Curse of the Bambino finally being put to rest, in the 1986 Series, the RedSox were up 2-0, after winning the first two on the road yet, and we all know what happened there. The Sox only won one out of three in Boston, and then came the infamous Game 6. The Sox were up two in the tenth inning, and the Mets scored three in the bottom of the tenth, after the Sox retired the first two batters in that inning. Then it all went into the sewer, with the killer blow, the ball going through Buckner's legs.

So, let's not count our championships before they're hatched, especially when the RedSox are involved.

Had a decent business meeting last night. They went easy on me for my first time out.

Kids had fun swimming, I hear. The whole swimming thing is really clicking with John, he just does more and more each time. He didn't have a nap yesterday though, so with the swimming he was quite tired last night. You could just see it in his eyes. So, it was hard to roust him out of bed this morning.

Here's a math joke that will have math geeks rolling on the floor:

Q---What's purple and commutes?
A---An Abelian grape.
