Trains and rains

You know when you pass by a railroad track and there's a train? And you always think "man, there's ALWAYS a train when you're in a hurry"? Well, in actuality, it's because you never notice it when there ISN'T a train, you only notice when there is one.

So in the spirit of noticing when there isn't a train, I would like to say that I noticed that it just started thundering and raining... about 10 minutes after I got home from my softball game. Not right before so it rains out the fields, not during while we're trying to get the game started, but 10 minutes after I returned home and we got our game in.

As an aside, sometimes there are names that just sound funny (see Dick Pole, pitching coach of the Reds) or ironic. Well, the Brewers just called up a pitcher named Grant Balfour. Gotta love a pitcher with the last name "Balfour." It'd be funnier if he walked a lot of guys.

Sounds like you are reading Stumbling upon Happiness.

Man, I just noticed this grocery line is totally moving at a normal speed. I will get out of here in an average amount of time today.

I grew up on a street named Balfour!

Ha! Like that guy's name, too.

It's so nice of you to acknowledge that the rain held off. I've tried to notice the same kinds of things lately - like when I need a light to stay green and it does...and then it happens again...

It's average temperature outside which means we don't need the AC on.

I also didn't eat so much that my stomach hurts.
