Right on Time

I was right on time...the title of Buck O'Neil's autobiography; Buck O'Neil was a baseball player during the era of the Negro Leagues and early intergration into Major League Baseball. Buck O'Neil suffered many hardships during his baseball career as it was a less than ideal time for an African-American. If Buck O'Neil can say that he was right on time, I think that Amy, Ryne, and myself can make the argument that Ryne joining us in this wonderful world is also right on time - even if he was a little over a week late. Everything happens for a reason, the good and the bad. Everything happens when it is supposed to happen, even if it seems as though it is at a less than ideal time. It is my theory that if you are early, on-time, or late - those are the times that were destined for you. On Thursday, October 21st, 2010 at 12:42pm, Ryne Bailey Ewald was right on time. (Even if it does mean that I am selling my tickets to tomorrow's Iowa/Wisconsin game because that is the day we are coming home from the hospital. That was a tough decision, and hard to do. However, I am excited to watch the game with my new favorite Hawkeye fan!) Now the real fun begins! (Pictures and videos to come soon...)
