From the Stands (opens the original)

Today I’m writing from the stands, watching my soon to be 13-year-old take the fields.Even though fall just began, this is Texas. 89 degrees. Blistering sun reflecting off the artificial turf field.The sounds from the stands, from parents, and from the dugout, permeate the field.“Throw a strike”“Swing the bat”It’s the most obvious advice that I have always found quite comical.

497 subscribers feel different than 500 subscribers. 202 pounds feel different 200 pounds. Logically, the difference is tiny.

When Our Gut Was RightFifteen years ago, my son underwent multiple heart surgeries before his first birthday.At first, doctors told us he would be fine. They said it was only a heart murmur and that he would eventually grow out of it.But my wife and I both felt that something was wrong. We could not prove it, but we felt it in our gut. His breathing remained labored for days, even though we had been reassured that he was going to be okay.We sought another opinion. A cardiologist at a different h
