Watched a golf show on Netflix called “Full Swing”, a behind the scenes TV-MA show following golfers throughout their day. Looks like the first episode was relatively tame, with Justin Thomas (and his dad) and Jordan Speith, when Thomas won the PGA in Tulsa. Cameras even followed him into a drugstore to get allergy medicine. Lots of cussing and stuff I normally don’t think about. Future episodes about LIV and Brooks Koepka and the women following the golfers.
Monday: left work at 5:15 and took Spaulding west all the way to Johnson Ferry. Small group with Robert and Reid. We went long. Went home and picked up M, and drove to Roswell to pick up the car. Was after 9 pm when I got home.
Up early to hit the gym this morning. With C in SC I ate pizza for lunch, with the leftovers for supper. Not very good. Should be a restful night. Finally.
Back in the day Eastside Baptist Church was a big music church. Babbi Mason sang there. My friend Steve played trumpet in the orchestra, and my other friend Reid might’ve played trombone. Reid’s mother was the long time church secretary there. Steve’s wife Beth was also a long time singer there. Didn’t they have the “living” Christmas tree?
I think North Point recently started an East Cobb campus that first met at Eastside. They’re planning on building a church at the corner of Johnson Ferry and Shallowford, about 3 miles north of Johnson Ferry Baptist. The Marietta government is making North Point jump through several hoops, upgrading the land and pretty much building a small city with areas for restaurants and shops and condos, etc. Should be something. Across from a Kroger, WalMart, and my YMCA.
BILL DICKEY [SABR Bio] was Yogi Berra’s tutor at catcher when Yogi first joined the Yankees. Berra gave Dickey a lot of credit for his formation and skills behind the plate. Dickey was the first major league catcher to catch a minimum of 100 games for 13 straight seasons, from 1929-1941. That record has since been broken several times. NYY won the AL pennant on the last day of the 1949 season, beating BOS, with whom they’d been tied in the standings. Dickey, by then a coach, celebrated with over 68,000 fans, bumping his head on the dugout and needingd medical attention. Of note, there had been 72 recorded injuries on NYY that year. When Tommy Henrich caught a foul for the season's last putout, Dickey became #73.
Charles Spurgeon: “A Christian should be a striking likeness of Jesus Christ. You have read lives of Christ, beautifully and eloquently written, but the best life of Christ is his living biography, written out in the words and actions of his people.”
