The all-star baseball season has already come and gone. Nathan was the youngest player on a team. There was one other 5 year old, a bunch of 6 year olds and a few that were 7.

While there, James, Tu and I walked down to James’ deer blind and just as we arrived, James saw some coyotes crossing the dirt road about 90 yards ahead of us. While he claims to...
