BREAKING: the Braves are switching back to a darker color navy jersey this year. They’re wearing the All Star Game patch on their red-billed home caps but not their jerseys. Perhaps they’ll be wearing a special National League 150th Anniversary patch that the Cubs are wearing. It looks like the Braves will not be wearing their all navy road caps this year, but instead wear their red-billed home caps on the road. Perhaps this is just a one year thing, with the All Star Game patches on the caps.
After all the complaints last about the lightweight uniform fabrics, Nike is bringing back the slightly heavier fabrics from 2023. The cheaper-looking smaller names on the backs of jerseys from last season are also being replaced with larger lettering. These are good things. In Friday’s Uni Watch article a reader quoted my comment from last February, being one of the first to notice last season’s lighter colored navy jerseys. I know how you care about stuff like this.
I hate social media posts that start off BREAKING. Doesn’t age well.
Tuesday night Ceil and Anna went to an event at Weezie Towels in Buckhead. I left work at 545. Ate leftover pizza.
Tuesday was the day all our new living and dining room furniture got delivered. New sofa and four new chairs. Coffee table and dining room table and ten chairs. Ceil had a bunch of our kid’s old artwork framed and hung on the walls. New TV fits in with the artwork. Works well, but we don’t know how to turn it off! C also moved a lot of her books onto the new built in bookcase. Our new TV is sweet – a high def. Made the scary detective show even creepier. Can’t wait to watch a sporting event.
Ceil flip flopped again, and is saying she is going to clean out her art studio and let it be my office. I won’t hold my breath. She does have most of two bookcases cleaned out. One needs to be moved out of the room, to help declutter.
Wednesday: up early to go to the gym. Grabbed two tacos at Moes on the way to small group. Half the chips they gave me were little scraps. Guess it was worth five bucks. We studied Luke 14:28-29, about first counting the cost before building the tower. Very appropriate.
Thursday: spent an hour at the gym. Worked from home. Someone was supposed to stop by and pick up some furniture. “Lady” from Facebook Marketplace of course didn’t show up to pick up furniture yesterday. Should’ve known that she was just messing with me. Good that I worked from home anyway – at lunch I went up to the shop in Roswell to discuss M’s car with the guys in the shop, and spent 30 cleaning it out. It is always something – or five.
We ate at Nahm, the Thai place on Windward Parkway. Guess I should have shaved. Decided to change up from the Pineapple Chicken dish that I ordered the first two times, and instead ate a chicken and noodle dish marinated in a sweet soy sauce. A good decision.
Friday: heart shaped Chickfila biscuits at work.
M’s car (below) was not worth fixing. Needed calipers, rotors, pads, a transmission sensor, paint job, and more. Had 264000 miles on it. It was time. Sold it. This was the car I won. We drove it for 6 years without a $200 monthly payment - a $14,400.00 savings. Sold it for $1500.00. Deal of the century. Still trying to decide but will probably buy him a car instead of a nicer car for me. Will make for a busy weekend.
SPARKY ANDERSON [SABR Bio] played in the most games of any major leaguer who only played one season. Anderson only saw action in 1959 for last-place PHI, but played in 152 of the scheduled 154 games. The Phillies were also last in attendance in the NL that season. He was the USC batboy during the 1948 college World Series. USC won that Series, the first of their 12 NCAA D-1 championships. Anderson is the only hall of famer native to the Dakotas, both North or South.
