John Webb Pitching on Opening Day

Byhenry May 8, 2008

There’s a nice story today in the Pensacola News Journal (and I rarely call their stories nice!) about my stepson, John Webb, who will be the opening day pitcher for the Pensacola Pelicans baseball team.

John was interviewed for the article and gets to talk about his goals and his approach to playing. I’m looking forward to the game tonight. I’m a pretty quiet guy. I told John as he left today that I would be the quiet one in the middle of a bunch of wild folks–the rest of the family.

But I’ll give him a solid thumbs up and a “Yeah!”

I want to make sure you know that this is a move to, not a move from. First UMC is doing many things to be a witness…

Walking To New Orleans

Byhenry May 5, 2007

Well, not quite. I’ll be driving. My stepson John Webb is a pitcher for the Iowa Cubs (Chicago Cubs AAA team in the Pacific Coast League) who are in New Orleans for a series against the New Orleans Zephyrs. Last night the Cubs beat the Zephyrs and John put in two good innings in relief….

Approaching an Idiot

Byhenry February 11, 2017

I saw a meme that read: Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear, or an idiot for any direction. My problem is that while I can readily identify a bull on the rare occasion when I see one, and horses are distinctive, idiots are ubiquitous and come in so many…
