Writings: If you can’t say it to his face….

There are a lot of “supposed to’s” in daily modern life, don’t you think?

It’s “supposed to” rain tomorrow, according to the rain-boss or someone, who reports to the weather channel folks….

You’re “supposed to” wear a tie to a wedding, according to the Tie Manufacturers of North America.

On Mother’s Day, you’re “supposed to” send her flowers, rather than read the reasons we have Mother’s Day. (Hint: It’s about peace; here’s the 1870 proclamation.)

One of the things you’re “supposed to” do is go to baseball games and boo people, just because. Sheesh. Never have liked that.

One of the nicest people in sports is Robinson Canó, who just got a new contract with the Seattle Mariners. As the M’s go to play the Yankees tonight, we discover that Yankee fans think they’re supposed to boo…till they look him in the eye.

I love this…and what does it remind us of, about the way we really are, when we’re not in a big, nay-saying, negative, hating crowd? I like the way we REALLY are, don’t you?

Love you,

Brother Ian
