My Girl P.D.J.
What better way to kick off the June blogging season than with my original, unique, trademark, in now way copied (bogarted?) from Danny or any other person(s) living or dead, "Random Things" post. In lieu of irrational numbers, I will list said thoughts with primes:
3571 Summer is indeed upon us! I'm very much enjoying the nice weather, and the sense of renewed life and vitality that the beauty of God's creation brings. Since I became a beliver, spring and summer have always brought to mind God's redeptive power, and His plans to redeem and renew all of creation.
2069 Thanks in no small part to a feature in a recent Mars Hill issue, I started to read a mystery novel by P.D. James. This is truly excellent fiction. The world James creates is as rich and deep as her characters. Nary a page goes by when I don't think to myself, "Wow, I wish I could write like that." I'm working my way through The Lighthouse right now; I'm very much looking forward to reading more. It's the kind of adult fiction that doesn't make you feel guilty, like some of the literary junk food upon which I tend to gorge from time to time.
101 Celtics and Lakers in the NBA finals. I still remember eating breakfast at my home in Bridgewater the day after the Celtics took it all from the Lakers back in 1986. The morning news raved and I felt especially cool having watched the game (albeit on TV) the (late) night prior. Good times. I must say that the 21st century has certainly been an embarrassment of riches when it comes to Boston sports. The Patriots got it started, then the Red Sox got the "Reverse [the] Curv[s]e" sign taken off of Storrow Drive, now the Celtics. We're waiting, Bruins...
23 I took a swim lesson last week. It certainly helped me with some nagging issues of mine when I freestyle, but I still suck water (yummy, tepid, chlorinated water, no less) from time to time. This may force me to wait for the 2010 Olympics. Oh well.
2 Of the one participants [sic], nobody got my trivia question correct as to the significance of MCMLXXVI. April 1, 1976 was the date that Apple Computer was founded by the two Steve's. They are both doing very well now, so I gather.
Dig it. Bmarchio out.

A swim lesson might not be a bad idea. I don't really swim, I just don't drown.
WhatEVER...I was in the ballpark with my guess about 1976, at least. No credit at all for that?
