WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER.
Twitter said it best this morning.
Oh look another month
— Twitter (@Twitter) September 1, 2020
Another month means it’s time to take a look at the last one, and there’s also an announcement at the end of today’s post so I guess I’ll get it started.
(more…)I’M A PROUD Atlanta Braves fan.
My home is in the middle of what the team markets as “Braves Country.”
I’m ready to see another World Series win as much as anybody who’s ever done the tomahawk chop.
Tonight, I thought I’d write a little letter to some other members of Atlanta’s fan base.
(more…)THIS IS MY look-forward list.
I just made this up after an idea popped in my head, and it sounded pretty good.
The list is just a few of the things I’m looking forward to right now.
(more…)LOSS IS NEVER fun.
I almost wrote this post about death, but it’s the weekend so I changed my mind.
(more…)GREEN IS GREAT.
It’s not my favorite color, but it’s associated with some of my favorite things.
Going.
Grass on baseball and football fields.
Money.
It’s time for me to go to sleep so I can go to work and make some more green.
This post is a response to Sue’s prompt, which is, “green.”
THE PRESENT PRESENTS some unique challenges.
I know the above sentence is an understatement, with coronavirus uncertainty and all of the other uncertain things in the world these days.
Today was the kind of news day which makes me breathe a sigh of relief I didn’t have to cover it, just because newsrooms were probably even busier than normal.
(more…)COLLEGE FOOTBALL MIGHT be cancelled, which seems par for the course in a totally crazy year.
I guess we’ll see, but, as I read the other day, I continue to root for a vaccine.
I think I’ll wait for the official announcements before I comment any more, but today’s news is disappointing.
I realize there are bigger fish to fry. I realize there are a lot more important, and a lot more serious, things going on in the world than whether football is played, but the prospect of a canceled season is disappointing nonetheless.
This post is a response to Sue’s prompt, which is, “totally.”
FOR REASONS UNKNOWN I woke up at 4 this morning, a Saturday morning on which I could have slept late.
Such a fact is funny to me because on work days my body does its best Rip Van Winkle impression and doesn’t want to move from the bed until it must.
Since I woke up at 4, I’ve been in a funny mood all day so I thought I’d try to think of a few funny things related to language.
(more…)A HOME RUN of the walk-off variety happened tonight, and it brought back memories.
(more…)WHEN A BASEBALL or softball game is over, there are winners and there are players who can’t win for losing.
There’s another person, though, who’s quite familiar with the can’t-win-for-losing feeling.
