Steven Wright indeed has a unique angle on the world.
PS, I only know this because I used to work on the Myrtle Beach paper and saw his column, but Issac Bailey spells his first name in an unusually cool way.
You find the very best stories, powerfully told, T.
CTE is why I struggle with guilt every September - will this be the year I quit watching college football, knowing what the long-term effects of this sport can be on its young players?
You picked a good bridge for the photo. That's the Roberto Clemente bridge connecting downtown Pittsburgh to the two ball stadiums and the Andy Warhol Museum. When the Pirates are playing (and, I assume, the Steelers, too), the city shuts the bridge to motor traffic and the bridge becomes a pedestrian link to the downtown.
Perfect timing, personally. The stuff of bridge building has surrounded me lately -- at work, at church, when volunteering. Altogether, the distance between others and me disappears. We're connected. Like you alluded to, our national problems are just that big. But I think if we, as individuals, do that bridge-building -- reaching out to an old friend, chancing a new one, embracing human differences -- then brick by brick that bridge builds itself. Thanks, Tommy.

Dammit! I knew this and still got it wrong. I just sent out a quick correction. Thanks for the catch!

There's a lot of rationalization going on when you watch football ... especially college football. It's hard for me, too.
Thanks for the Lucinda outpoint. Amazing piece on an amazing woman
Thank you, Ron!

I didn't realize it was that bridge! I've always wanted to see the Pirates play in that lovely ballpark.
A great place to watch a game. Be sure to get seats on the third-base side.
