We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

do what your mamma tells you

When the Brewers returned from the all-star break, I noted that Corey Hart must have visited his family. Josh wondered why I thought that, and I told him it was because Corey had recently shaved and had a haircut--sure signs in my mind that he had been around his mother.

Last weekend, after a day off, the Brewers were in San Francisco, and Josh noted that Corey's family lives in California and he must have been to see them. "Yeah, what makes you think that?" "Well," Josh said, "he shaved and got a haircut." True. The first since the all-star break.

I tried to find good pictures of Corey at his hairiest, but this was the best I could do for now:

Corey Corey after he's been to see his mother. Click.A slightly better picture of how Corey lets his blond, straw-like hair grow. Click.My brother, who also lets his blond, straw-like hair grow until his mother (see photo) makes him cut it. Click.A picture of Rickie Weeks and Bill Hall that I found while looking for Corey Hart pictures--just because they're cute. Rickie especially; he frequently looks sad and serious, here he just looks happy.
