Promise

Each day offers promise, but there seems to be a bit extra when you plan to spend more time at the ballpark than at work.

Thursday afternoon baseball is sweet. High behind the plate you can glimpse the South Bronx grinding along while – for nine innings – the game below is all that matters. There is always work to do, but nothing should get in the way of a baseball break.

It is a comforting reminder of what we can be. Think of a world where each day is like this for everyone.

That should be our goal and our promise.
