So when a great man dies, For years beyond our ken, The light he leaves behind him lies Upon the paths of men. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow		Friday Apr 25, 2025

Selected Quote

Philadelphia Phillies baseball star Mike Schmidt grew up in a sleepy, tree-lined, middle-class neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio. At the age of five he climbed a tree in his backyard and grabbed a 4000-volt power line. Knocked unconscious by the shock, he fell limp to the ground. The impact restarted his heart. 'I've never thought that I was given a second chance because I was supposed to do something great in my life, ' Schmidt says. 'But I've looked back and wondered why that stupid little kid didn't die. Maybe that's the reason I've always worked to hard, because I don't want to think that I wasted that chance.'
