    Pitching idea

    Friend at work and I came up with the idea of using inmates as pitchers at batting cages instead of predictable pitching machines for a more realistic, unpredictable batting experience. Unless the Japanese have already come up with a robotic pitching machine that can pitch curve balls, sinkers...

    How losing a loved one is like jumping a motorcycle

    You're riding along and everything is great. You're together. You see the jump and you're anticipating the fun. It's scary at first, but you've made a decision. You get up to speed, it's fun and exciting. You twist the throttle, you put in to the relationship. The suspension compresses as...
