running’s greatest spotlight, the Boston Marathon, was used by someone as an
opportunity to terrorize. No one yet
knows the specifics as to ‘why’, but more people have been killed and injured
randomly by unknown or unknowns likely hoping to send some kind of
message. Whatever message they were
hoping to send, the world by and large will simply look at them as the latest
whack job and completely discount whatever it is they’re trying to say. Certainly my heart-felt prayers go out to
those impacted by this heinous event.
I
had a baseball night planned with Don and John.
We’d finished the Baseball Documentary and had decided to gather
regularly to watch baseball movies. I
had five or so in my collection, but we turned to Netflix to find something
none of us had seen and came up with ‘Diminished Capacity’ starring Alan Alda
and Matthew Broderick. It was an
interesting story about a man suffering from Alzheimer’s (Alan Alda) who was in
possession of a priceless baseball card, Frank ‘Wildfire’ Schulte, and his
efforts to sell it to raise the money he needed to continue to live independently.
As a baseball movie, we rated it collectively as a ‘B’. Our ratings for baseball movies are somewhat
more generous than how we’d rate movies generally speaking.
I’d
tried to go to the park for a Survival Workout with Dakota, but found that she
couldn’t walk the trail and returned to the car and home. With limited time, I hopped on the trainer
for a short ride. I had to get the
spaghetti dinner ready before the guys showed, which was a decent enough reason
to cut it short. The spaghetti and
garlic toast with smoothies was a hit and is the perfect meal for baseball
night, in case anyone is considering taking this on as a special night with the
guys.
