First Braves Game

We took Aden to his first Braves game on Saturday. Here's what Aden knows about the Braves so far:

• They play a game called baseball
• They are on our TV a lot
• They can make mommy and daddy very happy
• They can make mommy and daddy very angry
• They have a chain of sandwich shops called The Atlanta Braves Company (We've stopped trying to tell him it's actually The Atlanta Bread Company)

He had a great time at the game. He loved saying, "Charge!" He wasn't sure why people did the chop. He referred to tomahawks as axes. He started asking to go home in the eigth inning but the game was over shortly thereafter and he was asleep before we got on the interstate.

"I had impure thoughts about Art Linkletter."

Behold the power of youtube. Here are two clips from a 1969 Woody Allen television special. In these two clips Woody interviews Billy Graham. It’s such a natural, friendly, funny and unrehearsed conversation. It’s refreshing but at the same time it’s sad to think that something like that would never be on TV today. First of all, network TV doesn’t do variety shows anymore and the one place you’d think might give a yong comedian a chance ends up committing to Mind of Mencia and cancelling Comedians of Comedy. Bygones. Secondly, religious and political ideology is so polarized today that a modern Woody Allen and a modern Billy Graham would not trust each other enough to do this. Anyway, enjoy.
