Web Wednesdays: What a Trillion Dollars Looks Like
One of the problems with numbers (especially big ones) is that we hear million, billion and trillion and they all sound the same. In actuality, the jumps from million to billion to trillion are bigger than we often comprehend. Perhaps you have heard or seen this comparison using time: … Read entire article »

Game 7 Recap
“Well, a wiser fellow than myself once said, sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear well, he eats you.” There are many points at which a game can be lost, but one play sticks out from last night: Bottom of the third inning, two outs, one run in for the Mustangs. Soft grounder to Nathan on the mound. He fields, and lobs it over to Jackson at first. The ball falls short, and the runner is safe. Instead of walking in to hit, we’re stuck out there, and six more runs come in. Both are two of our more experienced players. Nathan could have thrown it better; Jackson could have caught it. Oh well. Such is life in U9 baseball. After that it was a see-saw game; in the end, we … Read entire article »

Game 4 Recap
Last night was by far our tightest game of the year. There were many lead changes, and in the end we lost 15-14. What I liked: Our hitters looked better than in the last game. There were few strikeouts and our pitch selection was good. There were several line drives, and the opposing team commented on our hitting. The arm of the opposing catcher.

Our pitchers did a great job in making the other team hit and not walk. Nathan did well at keeping runners at third on wild pitches. Riley was alert and almost made a great catch in right field. Logan made … Read entire article »

Where does thunder come from? (Part Two)
Last week Thursday I posted a blurb about where thunder comes from. I mentioned that the full scientific explanation would be too much for my girls. Well… I was tucking Clara in on Friday night after even heavier thunderstorms had passed through. She said in a timid voice, “Daddy, I’m scared of the thunder.” I replied, “Do you know what thunder is? It’s angels playing the drums.” She laughed, rolled over, and went to sleep. Mission accomplished, until she’s old enough for the real story. (Why weren’t the angels bowling? Forgive me; I am not a big fan of bowling. Besides, I thought the idea of bowling in heaven a bit incongruous. Sorry mom.) … Read entire article »
