Hey Roger! Happened upon your blog today…we are doing great! Moved to St. Louis in March and are about 4 weeks from being in our new house. Joe really likes his job up here and the kids are doing great. The baby girl will be 1 in August…how time flies! We actually went to Omaha opening weekend for an early father’s day for Joe (his alma mater Southern Miss played also). I still owe you a reflection of our story…I haven’t forgotten! Take care! We miss you and talk about you often! ~Leslie

I think I will definitely leave the “Reflections on Obama” to others more informed and savvy than my self!

Glad my post resonated with you, and educated you a bit in the process. Thanks for your comments, Janice.

Roger, when I first looked at the title of your blog today, I saw “Reflections on Obama.” and I must admit I groaned.

I like your analogy of life being a team sport. We definitely need to encourage each other and build each other up. Hmm, wonder where we’ve heard that one before. Oh yes….I remember now, from the one who makes coffee for his wife…”He-brews” Sorry, that just popped out of the cobwebs of my mind. And we certainly have our mountain top experiences and our dry spells, mix in the hard work and discipline.

Yes, it’s great to be alive and we do play better with team support.

After reading your post I now know more about baseball than I’ve ever known. If someone mentions baseball, I know there is a ball, a bat and a bunch of sweaty guys and screaming fans involved. You see, I’m sports ‘challenged.’
Good Post!

8. Life is better with a ballpark dog!

9. Life is better with crazy gaudy beads draped around your neck?

10. If you don’t “make the play,” you might get Boooooed. Even if you are a girl who isn’t even actually playing in the game, and the umpire was in your way as you went for the ball rolling off the homeplate screen. But life goes on.
