The Great White North

 

Don’t sleep on Bob & Doug McKenzie’s version of “The Twelve Days of Christmas”. What started as a quick time-filler on SCTV quickly turned into an overnight sensation, with a movie and award-winning comedy album. I remember watching the movie “Strange Brew” at the dollar theater in Sandy Springs with Don Head.

Not much over here. Left work shortly after 5 pm Thursday. Topped off the air in my tires and stopped by Dollar Tree for 8 items. Ceil cooked chili very good. M ate with us. Watched Jeopardy, Young Sheldon, and So Help Me Todd.

Lifted weights at the gym Friday morning. Headed out to lunch at the Duluth Diner with the team. Got the grilled chicken salad.

Nothing on tap for the weekend. Golf this morning. Need to work on the clutter. M says he’s going camping up near Chattanooga this weekend.

LARRY WALKER   [SABR Bio] was the first post-World War II player to hit .360+ for three consecutive seasons. Walker hit .366 .363 & .379 in 1997-99 playing in Colorado. or COL. He is the only player in Major League Baseball history to have a season with 30 stolen bases, 45 doubles and 45 home runs. In 1997 the pride of Maple Ridge, British Columbia had 33 SB, 46 2B & 49 HR. As a teenager, he played in a men’s' fastpitch softball league, the youngest of five brothers on the team their father managed. The year he was sixteen, he won the league MVP. The story is told in “Baseball Digest”, Feb 2002.

As Dr. Denison wrote in the days following the January 6 Capitol breach, “what we saw was abhorrent and sinful.” However, it was also not, as President Biden described it, “The worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.” The truth is that most Americans think what happened that day was wrong, but far fewer think it is worth continuing to dwell on or investigate going forward.
