Lions, Seahawks, Patriots, Cowboys, Falcons, Giants, Jets, Rams, Raiders, Vikings, Chargers, Texans, and four other teams. Bengals? Ravens? Charlotte is adding a MLS soccer team next year, plus stadium concerts scheduled for Elton John, Garth Brooks, and Billy Joel.

Jerry Seinfeld is making a Netflix movie about the invention of the Pop-Tart. I just don’t remember the pop-tart joke. I’m looking forward to the Steve Martin / Martin Short / Selena Gomez movie “Only murderers in the Building” on Hulu August 31.

My theory is, the less meds I take, the better. I’m guessing that will change the older I get. Currently taking a multivitamin and low dose aspirin. I need to take fish oil. When the vitamin runs out I’ll start back taking vitamin C and D. Plus whatever Ceil has bought that she’s quit taking.

Winnie is doing great in so many areas, but she sure likes to play rough with me. Hopefully that will stop at some point, when she stops teething.

Back at Camp SPdL I used to carry around a yellow legal pad to take notes and write jokes. Did the same thing on all those Living Science trips. Still use one at work.

Wednesday: eggy boy for breakfast. Chicken salad sandwich for supper. Watched the Hawks win. Also some College World Series, and Jeopardy, $100,000 Pyramid, and Card Sharks. Also played on my laptop.

CLAYTON KERSHAW [B-R Bio] a lefty, owns the lowest [career] WHIP of any starting pitcher in the Modern Era. His career 1.0036 WHIP (walks plus hits per inning pitched) rate is the best for any starter since 1900, although Jacob deGrom is close behind at 1.0164. (1,000 innings min). Kershaw traveled to Cuba with his former manager, a Hall of Famer, on a goodwill mission sponsored by MLB. Cuba trip was in December 2015. As a Texas high school senior, his record was 13-0 with an ERA of 0.77 at Highland Park HS located in one of Dallas’ “Park Cities”. That same year, he also recorded 139 strikeouts in 64 innings. In one playoff game he pitched an all-strikeout perfect game, striking out all 15 batters he faced. The game was shortened because of a mercy rule. He also hit a grand slam in the same playoff game.

Not sure I’m believing this writer from New York City, amazed at what life is like outside his hometown.

One hundred classic movie clips. I’ll have to watch Kramer vs Kramer. Never seen it. The Prince of Tides was a Jeopardy question earlier this week. A great movie moment for me was in Tootsie when Dustin Hoffman took off the makeup.
