Chicken Little and the Busy Beaver


 Jay Cutler threw two interceptions, the Bears lost, and Cutler complained in post-game comments that the media was going to be all critical.  Better yet, several commentators declared the team’s playoff chances are in doubt, this after one game.  The sky is always falling during football season in Chicago.

My daughter, on the other hand, has been quietly going about her business as a graduate student at Valparaiso University.  Clare made sure to contact the softball coach before even arriving on campus.  Because of some arcane school rules, Clare can’t be an assistant coach this year, but she can help out.  That starts tomorrow, when she dons the tools of ignorance to help catch pitchers.
And so, quietly, a coach is born.
