All Star Games Rewarding in Many Ways












"Brothers Chris, left, and Dan Brown celebrate after the family's baseball, autographed by Babe Ruth, sold at auction for more than $700,000 at Major League Baseball's All-Star FanFest yesterday. At center is their father, William Brown, whose father, Earl Brown, caught the Babe Ruth home run ball at the 1933 All-Star game."

(Steve Mellon, Post-Gazette)

Catching fly balls at baseball games can be very rewarding. (Justin, your ball-catching career has just begun.)

Our reward from the All Star Game last night was spending time with good friends and family. Everyone who was at our get-together last night (and Kelly in Colorado) has a lot going on in their lives right now - challenging workplace situations, houses being built, thesis work being done, life decisions being made.

Today I plan to sort and organize closets, schedule some appointments, and get a copy of Marley and Me (Bowling Green's next Community Reads book).

Sounds like
  • Marley and Me
  • will be a good book for my 8th graders to read this year.

    So, this is finally the tell-all sequel to A Christmas Carol by Scrooge?
