You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Bernie,
ReplyDeleteDat looks mighty imtimidating on the mound! We miss seeing you at the park on W. Center and Green.

Bill, That was Dat's introduction to baseball. After a weekend in which he played in his first-ever pick up game, he insisted his mom drive him to the park that Monday. "My team needs me," he insisted. Little did we know that this was the start of a kid who plays on 2 baseball teams, 2 basketball teams and one football team. He loves sports.
ReplyDeleteAnd that is thanks in large part to bigger kids like your grandson, who were willing to teach him.
The world is still full of lots of very good kids.
You have a great grandson and mine had nothing to do with that other than just being friends. He's fortunate to have a grandpop willing to spend a lot of time and energy with him. These influences mean a lot in the long run. It's too bad the petty grouches on your blog don't know the "Truth" (their words)...that you are a good, honest, caring man of principals. My grandsons aren't the only one's with a good friend.
