- we've been doing this thing at church once a month that we've creatively titled "food night." that's pretty much what it's all about...a night of food...people sitting at tables, eating great food, talking, hanging out, getting to know each other better. even in a small church these moments are so important even if there isn't a secific "program" going on...just people getting to know each other a little better and enjoying excellent food.

- post-season baseball thoughts...i know if my hope for a rockies/red sox takes place you are going to hear a lot of stuff like this: "red sox huge payroll pays off," "red-hot rockies roll into the world series." (in fact, i should send those headlines into si.com). but while many may write off their successes as payroll driven (sox) or lucky/hot streak (rocks), and while there are a million factors that make a good team (pitching, especially starting pitching cannot be understimated), the ability of both of their lineups to make pitchers work is the element that stands out to me. if anyone does watch these teams play you will see a ton of patient at-bats, lots of full counts, lots of good pitches spoiled by foul balls, and lots of walks. from top to bottom both line-ups are relentless in their patient approach...something i hope the giants take into consideration this offseason.

- new jimmy eat world on tuesday...the good music keeps rolling out this year!
