Baseball - the all-American pasttime

We enjoy baseball in our family and often spend an evening at the park watching a game and taking in the atmosphere. What great summertime fun we can do together.

Here's the perfect leisure-time and take-along book for baseball fans: a compendium of challenging quizzes, crossword puzzles, rules interpretation problems, brain teasers, humorous anecdotes, cartoons, and eye-opening statistical charts, all about baseball and all drawn from more than sixty years of the most popular baseball publication in America, Baseball Digest.

Tumbling from its pages are the stories of old-time stars like Ruth, Feller, DiMaggio, and Williams as well as such recent luminaries as Cal Ripken, Nolan Ryan, Ken Griffey, Jr., and Derek Jeter. Trivia buffs will be challenged by questions such as What manager has been ejected from the most games? What pitchers have recorded three wins in one World Series? What St. Louis Cardinal hit two grand slams in one inning?

Note: I would not recommend that you work the crossword puzzles on your Kindle screen.

Everything was fine until the sibling was born

Maybe it is because I come from a larger family, but the title of this memoir intriguing. I don't identify with either sister, but the family dynamics I understand.

Realizing she isn't the novelty she once was, Shannon reclaims her parents attention by playing with matches, chewing her father's tobacco, and calling her cat a cocksucky. Once placed in the background, Natalie is kept there though Shannon's playroom domination and dramatic schemes. Convinced her sister is the favored child, Natalie takes to her room, where she regularly holds pity parties.

Relying on reason

We live in an era of obscenely expensive political campaigns, perceived and real political corruption, corporate greed, fraudulent investment and banking schemes, and biased if not deliberately distorted reporting of information by the media.

There is only one effective path left to individuals that may guarantee the protection of their civil liberties and financial well-being: total reliance on reason and objective judgment, rather than blind acceptance of claims based on ideology or leap of faith. Whereas leap of faith may be warranted in very special occasions, it seldom provides solid ground for protection.

The history of our nation consists of enlightenment periods during which reason prevailed, as well as of dark periods during which both reason and objective judgment were totally ignored.

In Reason We Trust, written by Dr. John Chrysochoos, is available today $1.87.
