i don’t follow sports. Used to as a teen, but no longer.
i do make a conscious effort to watch as much Track & Field as possible every four years during the Summer Olympics.
Big events like last night’s World Series game 6 finish often happen after i’m asleep.
Cheryl just told me (5:45am) the Cubs hit a grand slam.
Would have been cooler if they trailed by 3 runs.
Oh well, it’s still cool because the win (even without the bases-loaded grand slam) forces game 7.
i might stay up to watch that one.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.
Yesterday, a Saturday, began like every other ordinary day.
Like the 2,500 previous (and consecutive) days, i was up early to start the morning routine.
This includes two hours of reading, praying, thinking, and writing.
Along comes the predictable sunrise, but this one was different.
It compelled me to crawl through a window onto our roof.

What if there was an app that measured, managed, and enhanced our attitude?
Yesterday at the end of a seven-mile run, a neighbor and i spent some time catching up. His son, 18, had left just minutes before to drive by himself to Philadelphia. My neighbor is a Spanish-speaking Pastor. i could sense his parental distress from the reality of his son leaving the nest.
Another neighbor, retired, drove up and through the passenger side window, asked me if i had heard of the WAZE app. It tells you where speed traps are set up and where there are red-light enforcement cameras, etc.
i was so astonished that people would even need such an app. If you drive the speed limit (and why wouldn’t you) and respect traffic light rules of engagement, then the app is worthless.
You can also say to Siri, “Check traffic” and you have an instant, up to date report, in seconds.
Caught myself sounding a bit self-righteous and reminded my neighbor to please keep sharing his discoveries, even though i have no use for WAZE.
