Through many years, I've been focusing on the pitch and the outcome of whether or not I actually hit the ball to make it on base. I've realized that it's more about watching the movements the pitcher makes to throw each particular pitch. Will she curve her wrist, smack her glove to scare me, or throw a ball? If I can see what she does as she throws each pitch, I can be better be prepared for that brief moment when the ball reaches the batter's box. The outcome is now the result of my observances and my reaction to each of the pitcher's movement. I'm in control and I choose how I want the game to end.

A Time to Ponder


I’m trying to do work, but I’m always in another place than where I am.  Of course, not physically.  I was just thinking about the very few people I can actually call friends.  I find it kind of funny that most of my friends are older and not just by a few years, but by many years.  I think it’s because I enjoy their stories and experiences.  They love to talk if they have someone that listens.  I always hope that one day when I reach an age of seniority, that I meet someone like myself, someone young and interested in my life experiences.  I also hope that I can become like my old friends who have so many interesting stories.  I want my mental book to be just as large as theirs.  Anyway that is just one of my thoughts as I sit here in this retro looking library.
