Generationally Speaking

My parents are in town for the week.  The trip has been planned for a while and as summer transitioned into fall, JT was excited at the prospect of watching playoff baseball with his grandfather.  It was unexpected that the playoff baseball would feature the St. Louis Cardinals, the team JT's grandfather taught him to love.  And love is an understatement.

As of this writing, the Cardinals lead the National League playoff series 3-2.  The last three games were in St. Louis and JT and his grandfather have watched them all.  Last night, I was too exhausted to stay up and watch the last few innings.  So I went upstairs and fell asleep to the sounds of baseball and my son and his grandfather talking about the game and the team that they love.

It doesn't get much better than that.
