THE NEW D-LEAGUE

[vhcat1970]

I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing 72 years ago today: I was on my GF's front porch on a sunny warm day with my Dad listening to the radio & him being giddy about the NL NY Giants beating heavily-favored,111 wins (of 154 game season) AL Cleveland Indians for the 4th straight time to sweep the World Series. It's first thing I remember of events outside my personnel life. I was six. Since Dad wasn't working, had to be a weekend day & more likely a Saturday as he would have still been umpiring local semi-pro baseball games on Sundays. Their seasons ran till late Oct. & even into early Nov. a couple of times.

Now year older DW remembers being all upset about the 1952 political conventions being on TV & ruining her watching her kids TV programming. Her Dad would be described as a techie today & they had a TV early on.

Have a nice day.

Hello All,

Been sitting at my computer since about 10. Getting up to vacuum mine and My Darlings bedroom. The things I just completed may well go to allowing me to be nearly retired. Still have two doctor appointments next week and two sit-downs with some, shall we say,... Klingers on (And I spelled that correctly from Max days of MASH.) These guys kind of act like him in certain ways. I called one of them Klinger once...

Anyway, enjoy what's left of your afternoon(s)... take'em and cherish them...

I am thankful!!!
