I Read Banned Books

This is the American Library Association’s Banned Books Week.

Read. Think. Decide for yourself. Teach your kids to look at books, TV, movies, fads, and politics with an assessing eye, not believing everything they hear, but probing to find out how deeds match up to words, how effects go with causes. Teaching them to think for themselves is the best protection you can give them in a dangerous world.

Maybe Next Year

It’s over, friends. The Phillies are out of the running for the wild card spot.

They played well this year, if erratically. Back in March I would just have been glad for a winning season. (Last year we were one game under .500.) Now I’m sad to see my boys go home before a victorious Game Seven. But they’re building, building.

And they seem to have had their team name legally changed from “the cellar-dwelling Phils.” That has to be an improvement.

The greatest thing
in the world
is the Alphabet
as all knowledge
is contained therein
except the wisdom
of putting it together.
