Good day for staying home and watching the Masters. I will try to see how long it takes before I'm napping.

I'm gonna flip back and forth with baseball until the white sox are down by at least one run and we can call it for the reds. I expect to watch mostly Masters. It was almost quick. Reds loaded bases in first and somehow didn't score?

I haven't rooted for a MLB team since the the 1994 strike, but I am almost convinced to start following the White Sox.

The Cleveland Guardians of the Baseball Universe slapped the Yankees down in ten innings yesterday in a great and exciting back and forth game.

It’s exactly what the Yankees deserved!

Well? If you like a roster full of journeyman scrubs they could be the team for you. They have one exciting pitcher (Crochet) and a bunch of others that if were released to waivers it's unlikely anyone would pick them up. Their 3 best hitters (Robert, Jimenez and Moncada) all went down in the first week of the season and who knows when any of them will come back.

Plenty of good seats available

Even though the Red Sox have a winning record right now, I predict they will finish last. Too bad we can't get players like Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts.

I used to enjoy baseball.

I always enjoy baseball. You need to remember it’s all about the Hate!

To quote Tina Turner “what’s love got to do with it”.

BREAKING: Just found out that McCutchen is back with the Pirates. May have to go with the Bucs instead...

Mookie Betts goes five for five yesterday. Why can't the Red Sox keep players like that.

Answer: the third or fourth richest team in baseball won't pay.

I'm going to Ireland with my two girl friends in August. I go out with another to the movies at least once a month. And go to dinner with another once a month.

I'm happy and carefree. Sex just leads to "relationships," and I don't need another of those.

I think gins unique flavor needs something citrusy. My favorite gin mixes are:
tonic
squirt/50-50
7 Up/Sprite
lemonade
Roses lime
Can't do the martini, too boozy tasting for me

Class reunion tomorrow. I have a new shirt for the occasion. Don't want them thinking I'm not keeping it together. Finding a shirt I have any chance of liking is rare. I don't know how people do it.

You should have one made to use on special occasions.

I don't have any bespoke garments, but I manage fine with off the rack shirts.

We had our 51st reunion a two years ago. I think most of us were just glad we could show up. Nobody dressed real fancy.

I wear a t-shirt 365 days a year. I have real shirts with collars and buttons and everything but only wear them if I am doing something fancy. Gotta go to a wake tomorrow so I will have to wear one then.
