Too cold for golf (frost delay), so Will bought us breakfast burritos at Muchacho, a Mexican place on Memorial Drive in Cabbagetown, east of Oakland Cemetary. A great bacon & egg burrito, quite filling, though not quite a huge as I'd hope.
Shivonne came to visit, and treated us to a performance of Baby Shark.
Drove Ceil almost to South Carolina, 16 miles east of Athens, past Comer to 3 Porches Farm. Winnie enjoyed stretching her legs, but wasn't interested in the avain creatures.
Secrets to live a good life.
Steve Barber was the first Baltimore Oriole pitcher to win 20 games in a season: 20-13 in 1963. He was once the losing pitcher in a no-hitter that HE (and a teammate) threw, on 30-Apr-1967 with Stu Miller. Barber was characterized in Jim Bouton's "Ball Four" as trying to prevent a sore arm from coming to the attention of management of the Seattle Pilots. s a rookie he had reputation for wildness and led the AL in walks. He once was in a starting rotation with Bo Belinski and Steve Dalkowski, in Pensacola.
