Just For A Moment

While crossing a downtown street this afternoon, a pretty young 20-something smiled and said hello to me. I glanced around to be certain that she was smiling at me. Unless there was a ghost that only she was seeing, there was only her and myself. I instantly fell in love!! A second later the shooting pain pulsating through my foot and knee reminded me of how old I was .... Likely old enough to be her Grandfather. For that instant though, it was a nice feeling to be acknowledged. Just for a moment.


Autumn afternoons and early evenings. We are entering that greatest time of the year! It's the feeling in the air. Such a sense of surroundings slowly changing. I've always loved this time of the year best ..... always attempting to be aware and soak it all in.


Maybe this is true of all teams in baseball but the Yankees are the masters of leaving runners on base. They often threaten to score but rarely seem to get the big hit. Seems like they should be coming through at least once in four times in such situations but it feels much closer to once in twenty-five. On the other hand, the opposing teams seem to come through in these situations about 75% of the time. Makes for extremely frustrating viewing, especially after paying for the MLB-TV package and getting EVERY game.
