Trying to make my life into a comedy routine. As always, don't believe everything you read. The truth is stretched for the sake of the comedy (disclaimer for the humorless).
These days just about every doctor I go to is younger than me. Like I go see so many doctors. My general practitioner had recommended two different specialists in the same group, for two different maladies. I called to make the appointment and didn’t notice the recommended names, so I asked for whichever doctors were available soonest. They gave me Dr. Patel, which sounded like a good doctor name. Then I went and finally Dr. Patel came in. She was a beautiful young lady, very professional. She explained the procedure and answered all my questions and seemed thorough. When I was making my next appointment I saw a card with her photo and qualifications. She went to Duke and Rutgers and had many high honors, and specialized in my need – but her photo looked like a glamour shot. I told Ceil that the doctor was young but had gone to Duke. I was wondering if Dr. Patel would go out in the waiting room to tell Ceil the procedure was a success, and Ceil would see how young and beautiful she was. Heck during the procedure I was under anestesia, and had no memory of seeing or talking to young Dr Patel. The other doctor was a young man, also very conversive in my need. He said he doubted there would be much of a change in the condition, but gave me his cell number, telling me to text or call if I had any problems or questions. I guess I could text him and ask if he wanted to go to the Braves game with me. Then I could tell him I also had a ticket for Dr. Patel if she wanted to go.
No joke: my company is pushing to get more employees vaccinated. Every vaccinated employee gets a $250 bonus and is entered in 15 weekly drawings for $5000.00. If our south region reaches at least a 75% vaccination rate (a big if) there will be a grand prize drawing for between $25000 (75%) and $100,000 (95%). If 95% of the South gets vaccinated, every employee gets a $1250 bonus (another longshot). Will be interesting to see if this persuades any of my unvaccinated team members to get the shot.
Gil Hodges was finally elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Also Jim Kaat, Minnie Minoso, Tony Oliva, and Buck Leonard. Perhaps there is hope for two-time MVP Dale Murphy – hopefully while he is still living.
The Heisman finalists were announced: Pitt QB Kenny Pickett, Bama QB Bryce Young, Ohio State QB CJ Stroud, and Michigan DL Aiden Hutchinson. The Midwest vote could be split between Stroud and Hutchinson. Young will get the southern vote, bolstered by his performance Saturday in the SEC Championship Game. Since Stroud and Young are freshmen and Hutchinson a defender, could senior Pickett sneak in as the winner?
According to Stuart Condra, the Bama lineman had a better year than Hutchinson.
Why Michigan State RB Kenneth Walker is not a finalist.
Next Sunday former UGA QB Jake Fromm will be the New York Giants starting QB, after only two weeks with the team. Take that, Stetson haters.

A Tech fan blasted Chan Gailey for being a poor play-caller and offensive coordinator, yet nine times he was hired as an offensive coordinator, including three times after leaving Tech.
GEORGE SISLER [SABR Bio] is the only Hall of Famer to have two sons play in the major leagues. Sons Dick & Dave Sisler enjoyed major league careers of 8 & 7 years respectively. The only year George received any MVP votes, he won - AL MVP in 1922. Although many said he was good enough to win them, he never won a Gold Glove or Silver Slugger. Sisler’s career ended in 1930. GG began in 1957 & SS began in 1980.
Fast food: I need to claim my free big buford burger from Checkers this week. Also a free entrée from Scoville Hot Chicken and free shake from Chickfila.
McDonalds starts a new two week promotion, offering a different free item every day with a one dollar purchase - which for me is a McChicken sandwich. For the beanie and Mariah Carey t-shirt you have to order through the mobile app. Not sure many Mariah Carey fans are such early risers.

Traffic bad but I made it to small group on time last night, with a quick stop at McDonalds for a free coke and fries. Had to pick up something for Ceil afterwards, so I didn’t get home until nine.
