So 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. That’s 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 we’re 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

I'm glad you like my name. It's been the source of some controversy over the years.

How does the sky look down there?

Here the AQI is 187 but at least the sky isn't orange anymore

I found ashes on my car this morning

Stay safe

the James gang actually played a few teen dances at a church 4 blocks from where I grew up!

My sister got to go but I was not old enough I wasn’t allowed

This is my 71st one, so I guess I'm used to it by now!

The weather in NC is pretty hot today, but usually a September birthday has been awesome. I hope you have a great year ahead, and please stay safe!!

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.

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 America’s Pastime. Thank you for the wonderful birthday wishes!
