Soggy Saturday

We are not amused that it is a rainy day today.
Does anyone have a connection to Petco Park so we could borrow the groundskeeper's drying machine for the field? I so want us to have a dry lawn tomorrow for our Easter Egg Hunt.

It is soggy inside too. I guess I am a mush or a wuss or an underdog diva....I am watching the 1993 film, "Rudy." I loved it and wept when I first saw it, and haven't seen it since. Starring Sean Astin as this little guy whose big dream is to play for Notre Dame and how it comes to pass. Yeah, and I still watching re-runs of "Rocky." and cry. Maybe coz "Rudy" is about Irish and about being small in stature and big of heart and dreams, it really gets to me. It is a true story by the way. And according to the facts up till then, no other player since 1975 has ever been carried off the field as they did for Rudy. Pass the kleenex.

The human spirit, the American spirit--heck, the Spirit of it touches me deeply. I want to be a Rudy or a Rocky or the coach in "Hoosiers" (funny, these are all inspiring sports films and not musicals...did I miss my calling?)

Although feeling better, I am not back to my 100%, so I am laying low and taking it slow and talking only when necessary. Working on my talk for Easter service tomorrow. Great day for reflection and contemplation. For me, there has definitely been a resurrection in the making of late.

Oh and for those who might be interested, on Monday on CNBC there is a new show called, "American Made" at 8 or 11 p.m. and the first show will higlight Mr. Howard Schultz, author of "Pour Your Heart Into It" and the man behind what we know of today's Starbucks success.

Cheers!
