A few months ago I tweeted a short piece of creative nonfiction as part of Creative Nonfiction’s #cnftweet project at @cnfonline. I found out today that my tweet is going to be printed with others in the Summer 2010 Issue of Creative Nonfiction. Looking forward to this.
Godspeed, Robin Roberts

Why I Love Baseball
“I have learned the value of investing time and emotion in things I cannot control, and of belonging to a community whose aspirations I share completely and uncritically.” – Nick Hornby, via Phillies Nation.
Let it be known that I’m not willing to invest time and emotion in all ridiculous systems, frameworks, and polities. But I am, gladly, a believer in baseball.
Go Phils.
