Mustache Man

On the flight to Philadelphia yesterday, Braves pitcher Spencer Strider wore an interesting multi-colored shirt. Strider was moved from the bullpen into the starting rotation on May 30 when the Braves were 10-1/2 games behind the Mets. Strider won his start, launching the Braves on the comeback trail. Sadly, not a good outing tonight.

Strider holds the Gwinnett career record for strikeouts per 9 innings: a perfect 27.0. He pitched one inning last year, and struck out the side.

Yesterday I left work around 5:30. Ceil fixed cheese quesadillas and hearty tomato soup (below). I drove her and Winnie to Merchants Walk for stops at Old Navy, Ulta, and Whole Foods. Watched the new episode of Young Sheldon.

Ran three miles at the gym this morning, but I had forgot my watch to time the run – so I guess it didn’t count. The McDonalds app has a free quarter pounder deal.

Next week we’re loading up my friend Lee’s F150 pickup with junk from my garage to take to the dump. This weekend we gotta get ready for that.

Stopped by Baskin Robbins for a Chocolate Peanut Butter cake cone. They had a Ghostbusters Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man bobblehead for sale.

Saw a photo of the 1990 UGA homecoming queen Kelly Curran, escorted by her father.

One reason for the Braves success: all three outfielders wearing the traditional striped socks.

When in Asheville Ceil found a matching monarch butterfly dress for mom and baby.

DENISON: you and I are called to “have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called” (I Peter 3:8-9). Psychiatrist Curt Thompson notes: We have to change our lives if we want our lives to change.
