Phailing Phillies

As some might know, I'm a big baseball phan (I mean, fan), and I'm still lamenting the rise and phall of the Phillies this year. Their historic comeback to overtake the NY Mets in the final weekend was truly remarkable and gave the city spirit that it hasn't seen in some time. And yet, their run was ended in just as dramatic a fashion, getting swept by the Rockies in three games. They forgot how to hit and their pitching, which was good, wasn't good enough. And after watching two of the other three division series end in sweeps, I didn't feel quite so bad. Yet, it's hard seeing them phalter. I guess there's always next year.

Blogging at last, blogging at last. . .

. . .Seems like I've been saving up all my thoughts and keeping them to myself instead of publishing them for the world to read, but I've been intrigued by all the blogging out there and some of the bloggologians (web-logging for Jesus). Thought I'd add to the mix and start to develop something to see where it leads. I already write a column every other week for our newsletter at the church, called Tim's Tangents, so that gives me a regular place to start. And since we just had a son, who has already developed (or at least Kelly developed) two of his own websites, I was already behind. He can be found in two places (www.babysites.com/sites/kellyannblack) and (http://www.blackfamilybloggers.blogspot.com/). He's a good looker and we love him very much. All for now. Off to think of more tangents.
