I Pledge Allegiance

Me and all three boys went to another baseball game this past Friday. It was my department along with their families, which actually ended up with three boys all the same age. As the game started, we all stood for the National Anthem and stared in the direction the players stared even though I never did see the flag. We all had our hand over our heart but when I looked down to instinctively check on Joshy, he was holding his hands in front of him like you would for a prayer. It made me smile...big.

As an aside, during the game, they apparently put up a K every time the pitcher strikes a player out. I didn't know this fact, nor really notice the K's until around the 4th inning when I happened to look in that direction and notice the fence said KKK. It struck me as a strange thing to advertise but when I leaned over and said "Um...what is up with the Ku Klux Klan shout out in center field?" the strike thing was explained. If they get ten, we would get something free. Not something I was worried about with how the game was going. Why K? Why not S or X or something less random? Just goes back, once again, to the point that people should ask my opinion prior to all major decisions. Chick-fil-a...I hope your listening.
