Today is September 11, the 22nd anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. So I go in the YMCA this morning to find flags of other nations displayed all over the place, with a spotlight on…India. Huh? Seems like the week of all weeks the focus should be on the United States of America. How soon they forget.
Jim Denison agrees: “on 9/11, it feels wrong to focus on anything but 9/11”.
Uni Watch writer Paul Lukas took time to post a 9/11 tribute, which was nice. On 680 Cellini and Dimino also talking 9/11 on 680 this morning.
Braves clinched a playoff spot yesterday. Now they’re working to secure home field advantage throughout the postseason. Doubleheader today.
Friday: worked past 5:30. C made homemade pizza.
Saturday AM golf. Leftover pizza for a late breakfast. Dinner was grilled chicken tenders, steamed broccoli, baked tiny potatoes, and English peas. Then to the Earharts for desserts: cake, apple crisp, ice cream, chocolate macaroon cookies.
Sunday school and worship. A quick Mexican lunch: grilled chicken, ground beef, rice, black beans, cheese, chips.
Watch any football? Nice win for the Falcons. After rookie Panther QB Bryce Young threw his first NFL TD pass, his receiver threw the ball into the stands.
Went to Cobb Energy Center to see a performance of CS Lewis’ The Screwtape Letters. Packed house. Afterward we drove up Cobb Parkway to the Marietta Diner. As we were stopped at the red light near Truist Park, busses with both the Braves and Pirates pulled out, both headed to the airport.
Party of eleven at Marietta Diner, but service was fast. I got the chicken philly sandwich. Ceil the Greek salad. Lots of leftovers. We were with the Earharts plus three couples we didn’t know, and one other lady. Two of the guys worked at the Chickfila home office. Then home to finally play on my laptop before an early bedtime.
Lifted weights at the gym this morning.
A pastor was shot after refusing to recite the Islamic profession of faith. Never forget.
On 02-Sep-1983, HAROLD REYNOLDS [Wiki Bio] ran for slugger Ken Phelps who had just walked after batting for Spike Owen. Reynolds made it to 3rd base on Tony Bernazard’s double, but was stranded there as the game ended. Reynolds was the recipient of the Roberto Clemente Award in 1991 and Emmy Awards for his work on the MLB Network. From 1980 to 1991 Rickey Henderson led the American League in stolen bases except for 1987. Reynolds swiped 60 bags. Henderson had fallen to 41.
