Relationships between pitchers and their arms are unique — extremely, even excessively, focused partnerships full of fear and pain and trust and hope. The relationship starts early and can end badly. Anytime.

This is two weeks after D-Day. It’s dark, raining, muddy and I’m stressed. So I get my trumpet out. The commander says, “Jack, don’t play tonight because there’s one sniper left.”

I thought to myself, That German sniper is as scared and lonely as I am. So I thought, I’ll play his love song.

Courage takes many forms. Sometimes it looks like compassion.

Hey Good Looking - I’m Talking to You Saturday This is how Saturday’s are supposed to feel.  I slept in until 11:30, made myself a healthy breakfast shake (frozen bananans, broccoli, berries, spinach, 2 raw eggs, almond milk and Shakeology), now I’m blasting music and chilling on my porch, about ready to go hangout on the beach for the day.  

Hey Good Looking - I’m Talking to You Saturday

Basketball and Dinner With Joel

Had a fun night of playing basketball in Santa Monica with my buddy Joel. Memorial gym was a little crowded, so we played in the park next to SMC with a bunch of EMT’s on their break.  When they were finished, they got into their ambulances and drove off with one of their buddies in an ankle brace.  Unfortunately, he rolled his ankle while playing with us, but of course he had great aid readily available.

We bought some dinner from Whole Foods and talked shop for an hour.  Apparently Joel does not think it is wise for me to do any sort of technology business - being 28 is a handicap.  Youth is a valuable asset with most technology ventures.  

I recommended Joel watch this documentary called 49 Up, which is on Netflix now.  49 Up is a documentary that follows a group of kids as they grow up.  They interview the same group every 7 years.  They are now 49 - hence the name 49 Up.  

I find it fascinating to watch a temperamental 7 year old to be a temperamental 49 year old. We truly stick close to the root of our personalities it seems.
