Woke up to a frosty 17 degrees this morning. One more day of below normal temperature is forecasted for tomorrow, then we should be back to normal.
“The Christian faith is different from what the world teaches. The Christian faith is not “seeing is believing,” but rather, “believing is seeing.” We must open our eyes and hearts and see Jesus’s presence in our lives. We need to see him in the places that we dare not to look and dare not to think about.”
— Freeing Jesus: Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence by Diana Butler Bass
What is even more shocking than corporate suppression of wages is how the corporate and management classes have convinced many workers that the suppression is in their best interest. Assimilation is a very effective tool of the powerful.
Noooo, not on March 26!
It’s somewhat shocking to me that after more than 200 years we seem to still not have decided in the United States whether we are one country or whether we are something more like the European Union. Stuff like this keeps popping up and yet people think a concept like critical race theory isn’t a thing.
I did not know that one of my favorite deserts, tiramisu, did not exist before I was born. Tiramisu means “pick-me-up.”
Last year on this date our health risk due to COVID decreased as we got our first vaccine shot.
I know that two selfies in a row is too much, but how else are you going to see this shirt? And if nobody sees it, what is the point?
Today is the first day of this year that I was able to be outside in just a sweatshirt.
Somebody is going to be mad at Tom Brady. One should know by now that final is not always final in sports and entertainment.
It should be a big week for baseball given that there are so many big name free agents yet to sign. I am hoping the Cubs will sign one of them because we still need more bats.
Looking back at my blog posts from two years ago is revealing. I remember one the first reactions to COVID in the U.S. was to buy up all the toilet paper. I had a slightly different reaction.
And now the fun really begins, watching the free agent tracker to see who is going to be playing for the Cubs this year.
Probably the most impactful result of the new agreement between the MLB players and owners is the universal designated hitter. I know there will be many arguments about whether or not it should exist, and I am ambivalent. However, I think that such a rule should be the same for both leagues or neither leagues. Given the amount of interleague play, having the DH in only one made no sense to me.
Woke up this morning to see a fresh layer of snow on the ground, this the day after we got news spring is finally coming due to the MLB lockout ending. Oh mother nature, never stop being you!
Two years ago this week COVID was first officially seen in MIchigan. Little did we know then what that would mean.
Will the current gas price increases inspire more people to buy electric cars or just complain?
It’s a nice pre-spring day in southeast Michigan
It sure feels like we humans are intent on destroyng ourselves and the world.
Last year on this date the Chicago Cubs won their first spring training game of the 2021 season. Today I have no idea when the Cubs will play their first game in 2022, with the lockout end not in sight.
