The Tyranny of Smartphones
During a holiday weekend this past spring I shepherded my three daughters to an inflatable party place for a special event. I peered up inflated ladders to make sure my kids weren’t being trampled as they maneuvered crowded slides, and I trailed after the girls as they tried each apparatus. I did this while stepping over and around other parents whose heads were down while fingers swiped across smartphones. Three parents were actively engaged with their kids; 30 other moms and dads were watching their phones.

Coincidence, Right?
I stood in the middle of a line that stretched around the east side of TD Ameritrade ballpark in Omaha, Nebraska, home of the NCAA Men’s College World Series (CWS). I’d spent many childhood summers at the CWS with my best buds, chewing sunflower seeds and getting sunburned in the steaming left-field bleachers. This was my first chance to be back in Omaha during the tournament since I’d moved to California in 2008, and good tickets were not easy to come by.
