Finally, finally, a day without rain.\u00a0 So I went out there and cut the grass.\u00a0 Although not all of it.\u00a0 About two thirds of the west field was still too soggy to cut.\u00a0 But the rest is done and now I’ll get back to work.<\/p>\n
A week ago I was in a store looking for a baseball glove.\u00a0 I have my grandsons coming over on Saturday and I want to be able to have a catch.\u00a0 I’ve been using one of their spares and it’s a little on the small side.\u00a0 So I looked at some gloves at a local store and they’re all made of pleather?\u00a0 I was outraged.\u00a0 The salesman called it vegan leather.\u00a0 I walked out.\u00a0 Finally I found a real leather glove.\u00a0 I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.\u00a0 With MLB supporting cop killers and disrespecting the flag and anthem I’m done with them too.<\/p>\n
But now I can enjoy baseball the way it’s supposed to be.\u00a0 Tossing around the baseball with my son was one of my favorite memories.\u00a0 It brings me back to having a catch with my Dad.\u00a0 He never had much time and we mostly played with the other kids but every once in a while he’d throw the football or the baseball around with us and invariably he’d pull something in his back or neck or whatever.\u00a0 He’d put on a big show of being injured and beg off from the game and just watch us.\u00a0 Mostly he’d yell warnings that we better not break any car windows on the block we lived on.\u00a0 But it was still something I remember fondly.<\/p>\n
Camera Girl has given me a new list of demands.\u00a0 I must sweep the basement, vacuum the window blinds and clean up all the junk so we can have thirty people on Saturday in splendor.\u00a0 We’ll see about that.\u00a0 Calls are coming in about food that people are bringing and Camera Girl is getting kind of uppity when I ask about the arrangements.\u00a0 I think she’s trying to pick a fight with me but I’m too wise for that.\u00a0 I told her that she can serve the food in a trough if she wants, as long as we feed the guests I’ll be good with it.\u00a0 My family isn’t too picky about meal protocol as long as the food is tasty and plentiful.\u00a0 And I’m sure both of those will be true.\u00a0 The whole family hasn’t gotten together in two years.\u00a0 So this is going to be kind of great.<\/p>\n
And miraculously (although maybe I’m trusting too much to the accuracy of weather forecasters) the weather is supposed to be sunny and in the mid-seventies.\u00a0 That should make the party very comfortable for everyone including the cook and the busboy (me).\u00a0 So the summer has reappeared just in time to make the family get together great again (FGTGA).<\/p>\n
The news cycle right now is full of the usual nonsense that the Democrats talk about.\u00a0 Four trillion dollar stimulus bills that they hope to use for illegal alien amnesty and other horrors that they hope to inflict on us.\u00a0 Good inflation and delta variants and Bezos in Space and Ben and Jerry’s joins the PLO.\u00a0 The silly season is in full swing.\u00a0 The runaway Texas democrats have infected Pelosi’ and Biden’s staff with the plague.\u00a0 Let’s just say there’s no good news and the bad news is just too stupid to talk about.\u00a0 Enjoy the summer and enjoy your life.\u00a0 I’ll let you know if something interesting comes along.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
