C got chowder and a salad. It's not that I don't eat seafood - I'm allergic. Burger and fries for me. Made a quick run to the shopping center. Then Whole Foods. Then gas for the car.
Tuesday: Grits and fried eggs. Long bike ride. Spaghetti.
Read 80 more pages of Koufax. Every other chapter is one inning from the famous Koufax / Henley game. After Henley retired he moved back to Macon. His house was the third down from ours on Wimbush. For a school assignment in like 5th grade I had to interview someone in a profession I hoped to be in. I called Henley and asked if I could come over. Very diplomatically he agreed to a short interview over the phone. That was the only time I spoke to him.
MLB moves ASG from a city with 46% minority owned businesses to a city with 23%. From a city over half black to one only 10% black. But to a state with very liberal voting laws - a ballot is mailed to every voter, making it rife for fraud. But Colorado has voter ID. On the same day MLB ramped up their partnerships in China. At least the USA is considering a boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
The Masters is taking some heat as well. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred is a member of Augusta National. Will he resign? Why not?
The Philadelphia Enquirer blasted Braves manager Brian Snitker for not agreeing with their liberal agenda, and instead focusing on his job. I'm sure Snit could care less. I'm just glad Acuna and his mates are back wearing the striped socks.
Denison: The Los Angeles Times ran an op-ed for Easter titled, "How Christians came to believe in heaven, hell and the immortal soul." Written by Bart Ehrman, one of the most notorious anti-Christian critics in contemporary culture, it is an astonishingly false portrait of Judeo-Christian faith and history. The book on which the essay is based has already been soundly debunked, but many who read Ehrman's Easter article may nonetheless be persuaded by the falsehoods it perpetrates. Two days earlier, the Los Angeles Times published a different op-ed, this one for Good Friday. Titled "Why America's record godlessness is good news for the nation," the article responds to the recent Gallup report that church membership has fallen below 50% for the first time. The author ignores the remarkable growth among evangelical and conservative churches and ministries in our day. Nor does he take note of the seminal work by Robert D. Putnam and David Brooks, among others, which highlight the social connections that are especially strengthened in religious communities. And he dismisses the relevance of "a heavenly reward that fewer and fewer of us believe in," as if our personal beliefs (or lack thereof) change eternal reality.
