Day Thirteen and the Hi and Bye

Not every day is our best day.

Some days, no matter what we want to do, it is a day for other things.  Today I drank coffee, I journaled, I made breakfast, I did three weeks of laundry… and then, I did this.

By no means was that ALL I did, but those are the things I can tell you, here.  And I will tell you, all those things… the for you to know parts… and the NOT for you to know parts, were all more important than to write another head-scratcher of a blog post about theoretical physics, or baseball.  Which, actually, both occupy the same universe. 

I mean, have you ever seen a slider come out of a pitcher’s hand at 93 miles-per-hour, rotating at 4,790 revolutions per minute, breaking almost 3 whole feet, downward AND right-to-left, spinning more than 170 times in just the 55 feet from release-point to the ball’s terminus, in the pocket of the catcher’s mitt?

Physics, baby!  What the batter calls straight-up witchcraft, the slowest of slo-mo cameras calls… PHYSICS.

Damn, just when you thought you were gonna miss out on two of my favorite subjects in all the world.  And every bit of it only taking up the space of a November hi and bye.

So with that, I’m headed downstairs to do one more load.  Tee shirts, I think.  And for next time?  Well, I still have coffee.

Talk to you tomorrow.
