Kinder, Gentler

This past week I had an old friend mess with me regarding an inflamatory post on FB. He was messing with me because, well, we have been friends a long time and he knows how to push my buttons. Needless to say, we lobbed a few verbal grenades at each other and when the dust settled we were talking about where we were going to get together and watch game 5 of the World Series. It did get me thinking a bit about how I presented my very biased (read fanatical) point of view. I was talking about sports at the time which generally brings out more love and hate than anyting else in peoples lives - most times without us even realizing that we are going too far. So, with that in mind, I vow to try and keep the bombast and extremism to a minimum in this blog. Granted, there are no guarantees in life so forgive me if I fall off the wagon, but I will try to keep the gas can in the garage now once.
