Opposites detract.  OK, so there is this longstanding belief
that they actually attract, like in love and relationships, but
usually that magnetism tends to repel.  There are cases where
two things are so opposite, they find themselves on the other
side of the circle, staring each other in the eye.  A couple of
those crossed paths over the last week. They were so different,
there is no way they could be linked, unless you are reaching
for a column.  The only thing they have in common is timing.
Last weekend, if you were up for a literary marathon, you met
Aaron Miller and spent time walking 26.2 miles in his remarkable
shoes.  And if you had real endurance, you spent a few days
reading about the Hagerstown Community College men’s basketball
team as it prepared to travel halfway across the country to
compete last Monday in the NJCAA Division I tournament for the
first time since 1994.  Both are sports in nature, but their
sagas had a little more.
