Opening Day

Heard there was a baseball game this afternoon. I'm not a fan of the new improved grey road jersey lettering. And in the continuing effort to make players into couch potatoes, the Braves broke out new batting practice hoodies. 
 At least the Braves looked better than Bryce Harper's Philly Phanatic shoes. Perhaps that's why fans were booing Bryce after he struck out. At least he wore stirrups.  

Wednesday I left work at six. Stopped by Wendy’s for a burger deal, by the library, Dollar Tree, and Goodwill. Scored a cool Falcons bowling shirt. Didn’t get home until 8 pm. Ceil was just arriving from her small group.
 
Watched Chicago Med and Larry Crowne, this time from start to finish. More Larry Crowne trivia: before Larry gets fired he talks to a coworker – who now plays the dad in Fresh Off the Boat. Tom Hanks co-wrote to movie with  Nia Vardalos, who wrote, produced, and starred in My Big Fat Greek Wedding.
 
Matthew came home and fried breaded chicken tenders in canola oil. Took potatoes and sliced them into fries, seasoned them, and fried them in the oil as well. Very good.

More about Jami Gertz – we own the same Hawks jacket (abve). Back in the 80’s she starred in Square Pegs, a high school sitcom that was cancelled after one year due to low ratings and drug use by the underage cast. Later she guest starred on a famous Seinfeld episode, where she wouldn’t lend Elaine toitet paper in a public restroom.
 
 
Books: just finished the James Garner autobiography. Learned a bunch. He complimented some actors (like James Woods) but dissed others. This “telling it like it is” made the whole book less appealing. Several golf stories.
 
Started on a book by the late Carrie Fisher, written from her diaries during the filming of the Star Wars movies. Read by the author, which is an adventure in itself. Next will be Meredith Baxter’s autobiography, the Family Ties mom. Checked out a book by the Tiding Up lady for Ceil (because Ceil likes her show).  
 
Busy at work. Only me and Rachel and Angie in the office today. Rodney, Jonathan, Shane, and Brad are working off-site.
