Happy Thanksgiving!

However, in two weeks time I will suddenly find myself with copious amounts of free time - and not just because the semester is about to end. More on that in another post. Perhaps by the start of the new year I will have time to finally finish creating Sixteen Gold Gloves, which is still in very primitive form at the moment. It’s another undertaking that I find myself asking, “Why do I do this to myself?” However, having this outlet for my Orioles musings is imperative. It allows me to get all my Oriole enthusiasm out of my system, so that I can better keep it under wraps and preserve my husband’s sanity (which as you might imagine, living with me causes a veritable shortage of). He has learned to not ask what seem like simple questions, “Why doesn’t the pitcher just throw strikes?” Is there a short answer to that question? Even with all the understanding he’s gained, he still calls home “fourth” and it tickles me to no end. If I’m having a bad day, all I have to do is think of “the runners going to fourth” and it cheers me. It’s just another one of my husband’s endearing qualities. I love him to bits.

As I update the SGG website, I will be pointing to the numerous informative and useful links that you have provided. If you wish to keep your brilliance anonymous or less visible, just let me know. You should know however, that about two readers a week find this website and then quickly navigate away with the greatest alacrity their fingers can muster. You really have nothing to fear.

Finally and most importantly, may this Thanksgiving be one in which you are surrounded by love, feeling appreciated, knowledge that your presence touches and improves the lives of others, and feelings of gratitude for all the many large and small blessings you have, which I hope are more than you can enumerate even if given a week to do so. Sixteen Gold Gloves is very grateful to know you virtually.
