          and a tip of a Mariners cap too from someone who remembers listening on the radio enthralled to every pitch of the one in 1956 (and see the finale on the Movietone News at the Saturday matinee). 

           

          a local sports station started off with "there was a game in Chicago today and nothing happened!"

              Awesome!

              Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."

                That was an amazing catch by the centerfielder to keep the perfect game alive!

                  Stellar athleticism clearly runs in the family!

                  Be safe. Be kind.
