September 21

This guy right here had a great game this morning.

He went 2 for 3 at the plate (with a single, a triple, and a very well-struck ball that the centerfielder caught but was deep enough to drive in a run from third), and pitched one scoreless inning in relief, striking out two and giving up one single.

Then when he got home, he changed into his Ravens jersey and pajama pants for some football-watching, and settled into a chair in the family room. He perched my Pusheen stuffie on his shoulder and I completed the look with a bowl of apple slices (because our little tree is overloaded with fruit at the moment).

I know these days --these days that are filled with live baseball games featuring my favorite players doing impressive things and watching them hang out with stuffies and feeding them apple slices from our tree-- are limited. So I'm grateful to God for the time.
