Saturday

Friday night: organic free range chicken stir fry. From the Trader Joes frozen section. With jasmine rice.

Saturday afternoon: Colts at Bills. Love Bert Jones' jumbo facemask. 
Saturday evening: a rare meal out - we split a chicken entrepreneur at Moxie Burger in Roswell Mill. On wheat. We also split a small order of fries. I'd hate to see the large fries.

Metaxas' words are applicable to much more than today's political climate. Below: Tech's Pressley Harvin actually led all college punters with a 48.0 average.
The view from Ceil's desk, in Matthew's old bedroom.

The third different pair of Rodrigo Blankenship socks I've seen.

Nice socks

WILLIE McCOVEY  [SABR Bio] is the only player to triple twice off a Hall of Fame pitcher in the batter’s major league debut game - 2 triples off Robin Roberts in McCovey’s first game in the bigs 30-Jul-1959 at Seals Stadium. In spite of playing a mere fifty-two games that year, he was the only rookie in his league to receive any votes for that honor that year. Elected ROY unanimously in 1959 in spite of a strong rookie NL group that year, including Bob Gibson and Maury Wills. It is interesting to note that his new teammate Orlando Cepeda, who had graciously volunteered to move to LF to make room for McCovey, had also been elected ROY, also unanimously, while playing the same position, just the season prior. He was the first player to hit two home runs in the same inning twice in his career - HR X 2/inning = 12-Apr-1973, 4th inning and 27-Jun-1977, 6th inning. Only McCovey, Alex Rodriguez, Jeff King, Andre Dawson and Edwin Encarnacion have accomplished this feat. McCovey became the most prolific left-handed home run hitter in the history of the National League. On 09-Jun-1979, McCovey hit his 512th career HR, passing fellow Giant’s lefty Mel OttBarry Bonds, on 30-May-2001, both tied and passed McCovey on the career NL lefty HR list.
