An apology: Sorry. This is what i get for waiting until the last second, discussing possibility of catching Thursday's game at Fenway, wading through more reverse rush hour traffic than usual, late to softball... Life is complicated. Belated thoughts: 1. Parables: The wisdom of the ages is in 'em. Never get the third out at third. Don't cross the road if you can't get out of the kitchen. Never groove an 0-2 pitch. A penny saved is worth two in the bush. Always back up your thesis. People in glass houses should sink ships. Oh right. These are proverbs. That's what i get for running late. 2. Parabolas. What goes up must come down. Trajectory and all. That's what makes it easier for outfielders to field them flies. 3. Paradoxes. Well it made sense at the time... 4. Paragon. I infer from context it must be something good. Like maybe Buxton is a paragon of fielding? 5. Pair of people. Oh, i guess i mean the Twins. Yeah, think about them.
