All of the Chilean miners have been rescued from thousands of feet below ground level. Miracles do happen. Thank God. There is a reason to believe in a higher power. And I'll never forget what my father-in-law said 31 years ago while we were waiting in line for a dinner table at Hogan's restaurant: Believe in something, whatever it is. At some point in your life you'll need to believe..." Truer words were never spoken. Chileans know what real problems are, what to believe in, and optimism and positivity. I won't ever forget. <br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2500134256613128467-8024081346826297506?l=bradback.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RuL8N21EWVaYSa_5rT6DKg65_Bk/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RuL8N21EWVaYSa_5rT6DKg65_Bk/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RuL8N21EWVaYSa_5rT6DKg65_Bk/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/RuL8N21EWVaYSa_5rT6DKg65_Bk/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/FlFK/~4/PLV-2q-hOLo" height="1" width="1"/>Brad (GBB)http://www.blogger.com/profile/10467828444172806931noreply@blogger.com0http://bradback.blogspot.com/2010/10/life-is-good.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2500134256613128467.post-15407932282796475812010-09-21T22:02:00.000-05:002010-09-21T22:02:57.868-05:002010-09-21T22:02:57.868-05:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jci0E27SWbo/TJlxb2TqPyI/AAAAAAAAAEo/3eCZXvV3e0k/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jci0E27SWbo/TJlxb2TqPyI/AAAAAAAAAEo/3eCZXvV3e0k/s400/photo.JPG" width="298" /></a></div>Yes, this is some of the craziness that goes on in my head.

Looks like Memorial weekend will be the next time--have tickets to the Cubs/Houston game next Saturday afternoon.

They're the best. Only others I have found who compare are Steve Stone (he's just smart and strategic)...and Ernie Harwell. And you can't forget Harry Carey. Actually his sons are pretty good too, Skip and Chip. Thank God my parents didn't give us all "rhyming" names...<div><br /></div><div>Going to the cabin in about an hour in Saugatuck, Mich...what a nice place to relax--people just do their own thing, down to earth, and it's a nice getaway. Plus it's just under 3 hours, and it's a pretty easy drive. Sports bar with awesome food right across the street...golf course nearby, hiking trails to Lake Michigan beach which I can run to---very lucky.</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok...gotta go pack....but will be back.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2500134256613128467-3004915723803542499?l=bradback.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZVQBvI1cK6ZULN2pGKUKagGgmyw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZVQBvI1cK6ZULN2pGKUKagGgmyw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZVQBvI1cK6ZULN2pGKUKagGgmyw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/ZVQBvI1cK6ZULN2pGKUKagGgmyw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/FlFK/~4/QxSkfTU-YzA" height="1" width="1"/>Brad (GBB)http://www.blogger.com/profile/10467828444172806931noreply@blogger.com0http://bradback.blogspot.com/2009/05/may-1st-2009.html
