Did you see Rick Ankiel nail two runners at third base last night? If you missed it, you can see the highlights here. Wow.
Oh, and he also homered in the game. Not a bad night.

Just wanted to pass along a few recommendations for books that I’ve read recently. The first is Tim Keller’s “The Reason for God.” Keller does an outstanding job of answering some of the most common objections people have to Christianity. My highlighter worked overtime on this book.
The second is “Instructing a Child’s Heart” by Tedd and Margy Tripp. The book is a follow-up to the Tripps’ excellent “Shepherding a Child’s Heart.” With these two books, the Tripps have been an incredible blessing to Christian parents who take seriously their task to raise godly children.
And just for fun, I read Ben Mezrich’s “Bringing Down the House” — the story of the MIT blackjack team members who used their math skills to win millions in Vegas. Simply fascinating. I couldn’t put it down.
The cruise was most relaxing, and was a break that I desperately needed. We were originally planning for the trip to be only for Sarah and me, but we found out a few days before leaving that we would have a little stowaway with us.
Tomorrow morning Sarah and I leave for an extended weekend Caribbean jaunt to Cozumel, Mexico. Blogging will not be on my mind, so don’t expect any new posts for a few days.
It’ll be our first cruise. If you have any advice for us newbies, please pass it along.
Get a load of this from Giants broadcaster Mike Krukow. He had a little trouble with the word “shot.”
Warning: Adult language (albeit by accident). Don’t watch it if you’re easily offended.

Have a good weekend.
