Braves 2019 Bobbleheads

Today was a big day – the Braves announced their 2019 promotional schedule, including several bobbleheads. Bad thing is it’s the usual suspects: Freeman, Dansby, Albies, and Acuna. Also Josh Donaldson. Best case: buy four tickets, go to five games, and get as many as 14 bobbles. Spend $40.00 and net $240.00. Plus the Gwinnett games.

The Sunday kids mini-bobbles are cool: the four Home Depot Tool Race combatants. Might swing a deal with Johnny Tallant for those.  


Super Bowl story: when the Super Bowl came to Atlanta in early 1994 Lang and I went to the Super Bowl Experience. We did several things but Lang wanted to wait in a long line where we would film a sports report on the conference champion games. Everyone read from the same script. One person would read the AFC recap and another person the NFC recap. Lang and I were in line a long time, so we heard the recaps read over and over.
 
When Lang and I got filmed, Lang went first with the NFC report, and did his usual professional job. While in line I had memorized an alternate script, where instead of losing to the Bills, the Chiefs won. I pulled it off. That was 19 years ago. I still have the VHS tape. I need to record it on my phone so I can show people.

When Atlanta hosted their second Super Bowl in early 2000 I took young Will to the Super Bowl Experience. He was 6-1/2.
 
I hardly ever get sick, but it seems like I tend to get sick on Super Bowl Sunday. 
 
Young Jimmy Ewing published a children’s book that is available on Amazon. Ceil bought one. Just found out young Jimmy Ewing and wife have been hosting a Bible Study at their house, with Bob Marsh teaching. Not sure where Jimmy goes to church. Marsh had been team teaching at Peachtree Presbyterian, rotating with Dan Hayes and Jim Phillips. Audra Mullen Thompson and family attend Peachtree Pres. Her husband coaches mighty mite basketball somewhere.
 
Wednesday night I worked until almost 6:30. Stopped by Chickfila for an 8 count of nuggets. Spend two hours on the phone. People have huge expectations but I’m not a miracle worker. Ceil watched New Amsterdam. Exhausted, I went to bed at ten. Worked out this morning, but haven’t gotten much done today.
