The DU Lounge
Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsSo today is my birthday
No restaurant meals for us
Mr. Ohiogal is suffering from a bout of bad sciatica, anyway. But it will be a long time before we eat in anywhere. Thats perfectly okay with me.
I remember, as a kid, my birthday meant school had just started, and that was such a bummer!
I did get extra kisses today from my Lab Sophie
And were having BLTs with garden tomatoes for lunch in a bit
One nice thing about a September birthday is that the weather is usually nice! Blue skies, 80 degrees in the forecast later on.
My Chardonnay is chilling for later. 👍
And of course I will enjoy checking in with all you good folks here at DU

(13,706 posts)wonderful memories of the sound of the bat, the smell of grass and glove oil, and wonderful days and nights at the ballpark.
These players were before our time, but such a great remembrance of great players. A happy birthday video for you.
Check out J. Robinson stealing home. Classic.
Ohiogal
(41,046 posts)I love this song and what a great video! Jackie Robinson stealing home, what a thrill. So many greats in that piece.
A reminder of days when times were simpler and people in this country were united in the love of Americas Pastime. Thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes!
