The Maid

Watched a good Seinfeld episode, “The Maid” where Jerry starts dating his maid. Fun fact: the show was inspired by Jerry’s real life, when he started dating his trainer. George’s nickname (KoKo, not T-Bone) was also taken from the nickname of a writer on the show. Fascinating backstory here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Maid_(Seinfeld)

Razors: after M moved out, I cleaned out his bathroom cabinet. He had all kinds of electric razors. Some had cords, most didn’t. Most he’s gotten in SC from his grandfather over the years. There’s one I liked the best stopped working. There’s one I use to shave after I’ve grown my beard out for a week or two, something I’ve been doing more often since the pandemic hit – usually when C goes out of town.

Funny commercial where two people are talking on the phone, but there’s a bad connection. Tom Brady and Gronk did one of these. Also two ladies. One said “it’s not a costume party” but the other lady missed the word NOT, and showed up to an important work dinner wearing a costume. 

Had another big week of savings this past week, with three trips to Truist Park, a Stripers game, golf, and three shopping excursions. I needed golf balls, a belt, the jacket, and emissions. Had been looking for a specific Braves cap and found it at a great price, but will probably sell it for a big profit. Didn’t need the sneakers, but hopefully this will spur me to post a bunch of shoes for sale on eBay. 

I was on the go all seven days last week, and spent less than ten bucks for six meals, saving over forty dollars. I really didn’t go out of my way to get these deals, but just got them along the way.

Ever consider eating gluten-free food? I wouldn’t wish a gluten allergy on anyone.  

Had a dream that two coworkers were in. Zack had this metal contraption made up, kind of a weather vane type thing. He was doing a poor job of painting it bright yellow. 

On this day in 2002 I went to QT and Kroger. I had won 200 2-liter bottles of Coke in and Olympics contest that year, and was collecting them 5 bottles at a time at Kroger. That was the year I started keeping an excel spreadsheet calendar. My first entry was Sept 3, 2002 – had lunch at Waffle House with Reid Whitaker. If you recall, I wore a navy Tommy Hilfiger shirt, khakis from LL Bean, and black loafers from J Crew. I still keep my scrapbook calendar, but no linger keep the spreadsheet calendar on my computer.    

Needed emissions for the Corolla and Rav-4 (now done). Anna needs to get her recall scheduled and fixed.

What I’d like to order from the DH Gate: navy or black Grizzlies shorts, Flames jersey, Hawks Pistol Pete jersey, Atlanta Crackers jersey, Milwaukee road Aaron jersey.

CARLTON FISK  [SABR Bio] was the first catcher to be unanimously elected Rookie of the Year.  AL ROY in 1972 as a C for BOS. Also the first AL ROY elected unanimously. He went to college in Durham on a basketball scholarship, at the University of New Hampshire in Durham, NH. No other Hall of Famer comes from his native state. Born in Bellows Falls, Vermont, but never lived there. Grew up in New Hampshire. Both states claim him. Total playing time lost in the majors according to Fisk in his HOF acceptance speech, the equivalent of 5-1/2 seasons.
