    LFG Wednesday

    VERY cool memory, Smitty! I’ve seen a few MLB games over the years, but nothing as memorable as seeing Gwynn get #3000. I see you’re in upstate New York? How far upstate? My wife has family in Wells, Vermont— about an hour from Albany. One trip out there years ago, I met up with Morris at...

    Cities with the Worst Traffic in the World

    Same in Izmir. Also no road signs whatsoever, trucks barreling down the middle of the road— which aren’t two car lengths wide— blaring their horns in certain ways that only other truck drivers understand— and somehow it all works. Scared my GF, now wife, so bad she refused to drive AT ALL in...

    LFG Wednesday

    I’m going with the team the player started his career with. So the A’s for McGwire, just like the snakes earlier for Randy Johnson rather than the M’s

    LFG Wednesday

    Yes he was. I remember his playing days well, just drew a complete blank as to what team he played for. He would have been on that M’s team that won a gazillion regular season games then flamed out in the playoffs…

    Hump day bases

    YTD: 19-16 +517 Tiggers got really lucky to get the W last night. Skubal is on the bump tonight for the kitties, but it’s tough to sweep in MLB. I’ll take a flyer with the huge price on the Red Sox tonight. Boston +209

    The Brothers Karamazov

    Marilynne Robinson, and her 'Gilead' series, is also tempting. She taught for 16 years at the writers workshop at the university of Iowa. Know a couple of people who took her classes and they rave about her ability as an instructor. I gave Gilead the ‘ol college try but just couldn’t get...
