Hello, my fellow Spacers.
I am refinancing my house, and I hate paperwork. It is not as bad as buying my home because I am using the VA, but hunting for all the documents makes my brain hurt.
Gill that is the best peepshow I have seen in a long time, yummy.
Larry, I have been around for a long time, and I have never been in a time I would call normal.
Jeff, I am looking forward to tonight,s baseball game. I hope it is warmer. Last night's temperatures were chilling. Baseball plays differently in weather below 4c. I believe it contributed to the three misplayed infield groundballs last night, which lead to the Met's defeat. I am very political, and I agree with your analysis of the importance of the courts over the last few years. Plus, it is nice not to wake up to a new scandal every day. The George Floyd verdict was a welcome change and a big step forward.
Bill, a dinner with your granddaughter and steak! That is a great day.
BTW, Spacers, tomorrow is Earthday!
145 years ago, tomorrow was the very first NL baseball game. The Boston Red Caps beat the Philadelphia Athletics.
I am off, and everyone, have a wonderful day.
A play. Wish I could go to one of Larry's plays.
Would you rather go to a baseball game or a hockey game?
Sorry, neither. The only mustards I care for are spicy.
WYR go to a regular play or a dinner theater?
Hi Jack. I am glad you decided to drop by and say hi to the gang.
I have read a few of Jack's (JPemment1) stories on his website. They were quite good.
I watch the Cubs and Whitesox games the morning after they play due to blackout restrictions on MLB-TV. If you remember, please do not spoil the games for me. The Cubs are hosting the Braves for the next three days. Do not worry if you mention the games before I watch them. I will watch them in the evening instead. By then I probably will have forgotten. Yes, my short-term memory is that bad.
I have caught up with my in-box reading and I enjoyed all the stories.
I hope no one will object if I bring my cats, Bubblegum and Butterscotch, with me sometime in the future.
I will treat myself with a cuppa Earl Grey today, then I will be off. Have a great day, my friends.
The Chicago Whitesox baseball game.
It would be nice if we had enough readers to score the stories to reach the magical ten scores. It was not that long ago that a good story would receive at least 20-25 votes as a minimum, or is my memory lying to me again?
I checked, and we have had 98 members active this month. Maybe 20-30 of those joined and never returned. That still leaves about 70 members. Are they not reading any stories or reading but not scoring?
If you are a writer, you should be helping your fellow writers on Stories Space. Comments always helped me to improve, thanks to the helpful criticism I would get.
<steps off the soapbox> Some green tea, please, and some grapes I brought. I have enough for everyone, so help yourself.
Good evening my friends,
I will have some mint tea today.
Yesterday's visit and dinner with my oldest offspring and his wife was great.
Scott, you should try golf. It was my favorite sport that I sucked at. It is one of the only sports that has an advantage for being bad. You get to hit the ball more times. If my friend and I played 18 and I shot 100 compared to their 85, we paid the same price, but I got 15 more swings. That is great!
Do not worry about the Nationals. They have a good team. They are just short-handed because they screwed up their Covid-19 protocols.
Today I watched a story on Vox YouTube concerning how, even after all the post-apartheid changes, little has actually changed about segregation and economic opportunities in South Africa. After further research online, including information and statistics from the South African government, it seems that very little has changed in practical terms. It has only been a little more than half a century since the last 'Jim Crow' racist laws were overturned in the US, and race relations are much better but still are far from perfect. It seems that it will take several generations in South Africa to have meaningful reforms, but I hope they are on the right path. Growing up during the later years of the Civil Rights era has made me appreciate the great strides we have made in America and how much work still remains.
Looking at South Africa's situation has given me a chance to evaluate our progress, usually two steps forward and then one step back, in the US.
Thank you, Bill! Your postings of submission opportunities are always welcome. I assume that the Haiku form they are looking for is based on syllables and not kireji.
Hi everyone!
I am spending today at my oldest son's house. We are going out to dinner, my first night out in more than a year, when his wife gets home. It feels so good to be able to do this since now I am vaccinated.
Cubs got crushed yesterday 8-2 by the Pirates, the weakest team in the majors. BTW Larry, Musgrove was not a mediocre pitcher, he was brought up to the majors earlier than he should have and pitched for a weak team. He has always been considered a true prospect. It is really nice to see him blooming into the pitcher he is capable of being. I hope he continues to do well throughout the season.
Green tea, hot, for me. No cookies, I have put on about 10 pounds this month.
