In the thick of it all June 10th, 2008

Curve balls seem to be thrown at me from all directions;

Dodging them has become quite a test of strength,

Yet I continue to do it because I want too, not because I have too,

Sometimes the pitch is straight and fast and you know it is your pitch,

That home run you have been waiting for, that batter's fantasy,

It is possible that has happened to me,

I have swung away, and it looks like the ball is heading for the bleachers

Only tomorrow will tell what will actually come of it.

I expect good things to come from all of this;

Good things!
