Today’s post was easy to write. I just copied and pasted what I wrote last year, and the year before that, on this day before Memorial Day weekend:
As you read this, I’ll be driving to a baseball tournament with my oldest son, where we’ll spend the entire holiday weekend on baseball fields — practicing, playing, and cheering — with his teammates and many other teams from the region.
As I write this, it’s close to midnight and I haven’t packed yet, so I’ll leave you, without commentary, with the news that caught my attention this week.
