Ups and Downs

It's late. Not incredibly late, but late. Mostly it's late because I'm very tired. I worked another baseball game tonight. It was my third. I'm getting better at it, learning more and more what is expected and what kind of shots they want. I think it will be a long Summer, and I'll be very tired most of the time, but I will learn a lot. It's a great experience. Classes are done for the semester. Just have to take my exams, and then I am officially 15 hours closer to graduation. I just read a really great article today in "The New Yorker." I've never read "The New Yorker" before. It always struck me as a snobby magazine that uses words that I can't understand. But I came across this article that just happened to be published in it, and thought I would read it. Turns out the article was very good. It's called "Up And Then Down." http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2008/04/21/080421fa_fact_paumgarten. It's a wonderful read all about the elevator industry and this man who was stuck in an elevator for 41 hours. You can even watch the security camera footage on youtube. And I can be slightly nerdy (I watch a lot of the History Channel and the Travel Channel), so I loved reading about elevators. Go check out the article. Fascinating. Well, I think I will leave it at this for now. There is more I could say, but as I mentioned, it's late and I'm tired. I'll write more soon. Closing thought from Albert Einstein: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." Goodnight.
