There are a few sports bars with walls of TV screens where you can watch all the games in progress. Sports & Social up in The Battery is like that.
Thursday: worked past 6:30, so it was after 7:15 when I got home. Stopped on the way to top off the tank. Won’t be driving much this weekend. Ceil had been at Shivonne’s earlier in the day. Shiv is trying to figure out how to giggle.
C cooked pork tenderloin, cheesy rice, and steamed broccoli. Might have pizza tonight. M had a job interview at a small farm down off University Avenue, near where he used to live. Anna went to a concert with her cousin.
Friday AM: lifted weights at the YMCA. Bigger crowd there than usual. My other friend Reid was there. He said that was normal for Fridays. I slept pretty good last night because that 3.5 mile run Thursday wore me out. Had a decent time. Legs were sore, but I still worked out. On the treadmill at the YMCA I need to figure out how to turn on the TV to ESPN so I can watch the sports highlights. Figuring out the sound would be something even harder, but no prob because I listen to my book when I run. When I lift weights or run outside I don’t use the earphones.
Got a call and Winnie started barking like crazy. I had to go outside to talk, where it was chilly. Came inside and added another layer.
JOHN VANDER WAL [Wiki Bio] is the only player with more pinch-hits in a season than Ichiro. John had 28 in 1995, Ichiro had 27 in 2017. Vander Wal was an outfielder for Team USA in the final Amateur World Series, the 1986 Amateur WS. He is a member of the Western Michigan University Athletic Hall of Fame, inducted in 2003.
Denison: America’s founding on the biblical fact that "all men are created equal" must be balanced with the biblical fact that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Rom 3:23). Otherwise, the equality of human lives leads to the equality of human ideas. There can be no right and wrong, only what is right for me and wrong for you. As D. A. Carson notes in The Intolerance of Tolerance, tolerance then becomes not the right to be wrong but the insistence that there is no such thing as "wrong." From the equal rights of the unborn…the dignity and value of the elderly and infirm, and the urgency of justice for all races and ethnicities, every dimension of human experience is damaged when objective truth is replaced by relativistic tolerance. A "compartmentalized" life is hazardous to the life of faith. When Jesus is a sermon subject and a person of history but not an intimate, present reality in our day-to-day lives, we miss the joy and the power he infuses in our lives.
