Cross Culture Experiences

The places we treasure

"If I've learned anything, it's that our lives aren't about the big stories that shape history; they're about the little ones that play themselves out in the places we treasure--homes, schools, and ballparks--and with the people we hold dear."

-Tom Stanton, The Final Season, pg.196.

I think this is why, while items such as Specter's switch and theories of democratization dominate my life so much, it is not what is written here.  Instead, it is littler things.  Here are a few of those little things

Baseball #2, this one from Ian Snell as he warmed up in the Pittsburgh bullpen prior to the Padres-Pirates game.  My Christmas gifts from my in-laws apparently make me look like a real Pirates fan.  (San Diego, CA)

A mixed relay champion (Camp Pendleton, CA), not bad for one who is finding post-collegiate training harder than expected.
