Moonlight Graham

I chatted with an older gentleman at the store this evening.  On the walk out to our cars, I asked if people had ever told him that he resembled Burt Lancaster.  He said no, but that his father had, and that he considered it a compliment. 

We spoke for a minute about Burt Lancaster movies, and I mentioned Field of Dreams, where Lancaster portrays ‘Moonlight Graham’, a subplot about a real baseball player who played only one inning in the majors, and was on deck when the game ended – preventing him from living his dream of batting in the majors.  It is such a beautiful scene in such a beautiful movie.  As we split up, I looked up to the west, and enjoyed the light of tonight’s incredible full moon in our cloudless sky.  

I love the way things connect sometimes.
