Volbeat

Volbeat @ Medford Armory (2014)

A little over two years ago, Volbeat played in Medford. This summer I’m planning on seeing them again in Sweden.

Last week a former student of mine had an asthma attack and after a few days died. The last time I saw him was at that Volbeat show in Medford.

Like children and parents, students aren’t supposed to die before their teachers. Yet this is the fourth or fifth student of mine, that I know of, who has passed.

My heart is heavy this Friday night.

The 25-8 Cubs did something yesterday that hadn’t been done since 1929. They lost two games. But that wasn’t the exciting part. It was the first time since 1929 that a team had gone this far into the season without losing back-to-back games.

Today’s photo is of Luis Valbuena who played for the Cubs from 2012 until 2014. The Cubs ditched him before last season so that Kris Bryant could take over at third. Valbuena currently plays for the Houston Astros. The Cubs received Dexter Fowler in the trade, and he has been a great addition for Chicago.
