Naturally

It’s Tuesday night but I’m not watching the Amazing Race. Since I’m still able to sit on my couch and puppers hasn’t floated up to the ceiling I’m certain the earth is still rotating on its axis just fine. I flipped on “The Natural” earlier, a movie I have never seen and I am so hooked on at this hour that I haven’t switched over to my favorite show, Race. Maybe it’s because it’s about baseball. Maybe it’s because it’s about integrity. Maybe it’s the wrinkles around Robert Redford’s eyes that I can see even though they’re not yet there. Maybe it’s just because watching something classic, something romantic in essence has captivated me tonight.

In any case, consider me enraptured.
