| Introduction | I like lots of different things, so you'll see a lot of different topics discussed here. A few things I believe (thanks, Bull Durham): I do believe they should outlaw the designated hitter in baseball. I believe Michael Lewis has written some great books on a multitude of topics. I believe blogs can be relevant and provide another perspective without being crass, Buzz Bissinger be damned. I believe it is important to try to help other people as we live our all-too-short lives. I do believe in God, and that He wants a special relationship with His peeps. I believe Jesus Saves; everyone else rolls 4d6 for damage. I believe we should be able to find a middle ground in any discussion. I believe the things we do for fun are little more than work we enjoy doing. And I believe having my children snuggle with me is as close to nirvana as it probably gets. |
