Today's Features

  • By: KEITH WILSON

    This professional baseball season has a special component built in. This is the year the Mariano Rivera, 43, has announced he will retire from baseball.

    Rivera is no ordinary baseball player. Many people consider him to be the best closing pitcher in the history of baseball. A closer is a pitcher who comes into a tight baseball game usually in the ninth inning to close out the game. That is, finish the game and preserve the lead that his team has established.

    I am so tired tonight I can barely keep my eyes open. As some of you know, I do daycare in my home. Today I had three there, all younger than 2 years old. When I wasn’t saying “No, no” I was changing diapers or making bottles. I love my job and I love my kids, but some days I wonder about my career choices. Oh well, a hot shower will make me feel a lot better and then on to bed to tackle tomorrow.
