I was doing my usual morning news feed read, newspaper slog and email review, and I was getting depressed. Every single piece of news was grim -- economy bad, politics in shambles, food prices up, gas prices up, mortgages not working the way they should, bad news abroad, bad news locally (really? 10 new ideas to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct before it falls down?).
So it was a welcome break to read George Vecsey's column about a softball game where sportsmanship ruled the day. It's worth a read, as is the ESPN story. My day feels better already. :)
