There comes a time

 





There comes a time in everyone's life where they must write a blog post. For some people this happens but the one time, or even a little bit less. For me it has happened 3,100 times. So maybe I don't accord it the same gravity with which I once did.

On the other hand maybe I always accorded this little gravity to my blog posts. Maybe my blog posts have all the gravity of the moon! Maybe they

bounce

as if

in 

slow

motion.


Or, wait, get this: Maybe blog posts are like base hits in professional baseball. Did you know that it is widely considered that if one gets 3,000 hits in a major league baseball career one is guaranteed a spot in the Baseball Hall of Fame, baseball's greatest, most sought after honor? 

Maybe now that I have written over 3,000 blog posts my legacy is assured, and I am merely burnishing my legacy.


But the wise reader counters:


Ah, but a base hit on the moon has so much less value, for the ball travels farther at the slightest touch.



Let us think on this a while, as the ball flies.

Post a Comment

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.

I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!

One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
