I stopped by Panera Bread to get an IC Cappachino Chip, which is way better than Starbuck's Java Chip, on my way to work. I was thinking about how the Reds did the Astros the way the Astros did the Brewers last night and thinking about how comfortable it is to drive with one hand and drink a delicious bevarage with the other...and it was then I was suddenly reminded that I had a one armed baseball coach growing up. Brilliant.

He was a really good coach actually. He could toss the ball in the air and hit it with a bat. He would hold the bat under his chin while he tossed the ball in the air and then he would grab the bat and hit it. He could hit it far, too. Now that I remember him, there are now 2 people (Boudreaux being the first, of course) I've met in my life that have forever changed the way I view physical handicap. Man's ability to compensate allows one to overcome obstacles, which should challenge people without a physical handicap to reconsider thinking something is impossible, when all one really has to do is change one's perspective.
