2-0 and recovery

It is now Wednesday, and Man Weekend has now been finished for almost 12 hours. In the future man weekend will be celebrated away from home, with out the extra pressures of work life, and with other family men. I am now in full recovery mode for today, but our Holy Week services begin tommorrow night at 7pm, so there is much to be done. A few random observations:
1. The Brewers are 2-0 again this year. The first game they looked dominant, and their second game they looked dominant in a different way. This is what I love about baseball, the Brewers are going to have at most 15-20 games like their first win, where they score runs at will and the other team can't get hits. But, if their bullpen holds they could 60-70 wins the way they did this game. Last night they got a lead in the sixth, gave the ball to Matt Wise for the 7th, Derrick Turnbow for the 8th and Francisco Cordero for the 9th. Expect to see a variation on this pattern, over and over again.
2. I am geeked about this coming weekend. I confessed to a college group last night that my two "Holy Weeks" conbined this year to demonstrate my idolatries. This confession is true. How often does it happen that the Final Four, Opening Day, the Masters and the Church's Holy Week all fall in the same seven or eight days? Even given that, I am genuinely excited about the Easter services because Josh (my oldest son) is going to go through them with me. We have been praying, reading and talking about baptism for a few weeks now, and so this week he is going to attend the services with me. It is a joy and an amazement to hear how God is working in him.
3. I am also excited about all the other things this weekend. I also pick Tiger at Augusta, and I win about half the time. This Saturday we get to go chill at some of Abby's cousins, which if the weather holds, is certain to include some Pickle Ball, and we get to see Colette celebrate Easter for real the first time- last year she was to young to really participate with other kids.
