Muscadines

Just started “The Sweet Taste of Muscadines”, a Southern novel by Pamela Terry, the wife of former Atlanta-area Christian artist Pat Terry. The Pat Terry Group was big back around 1980, leading worship at the popular Dan Dehaan's Metro Bible Study in Smyrna. They had a classic album cover.

I finished the Jessica Simpson autobiography. Though she returned to God in her times of trouble, she seemed to fall away from Him the older she got.

Worked past 6 pm yesterday. Got on the road just in time to drive into the fierce January thunderstorm that was passing through. Teriyaki chicken and tossed salad for supper. Up early this morning to lift weights at the gym. I work out at the East Cobb YMCA between 6 am & 7 am. While there I will usually count all the people coming and going. Usually between 20 and 30.

At JFBC the pastor speaks to the students at the Johnson Ferry Christian Academy, and takes part in JF intramural sports with his wife. Like SPdL basketball, there is an end of season banquet.

JOEY VOTTO [B-R Bio] is a Toronto native, plays 1st base, bats left, throws right, and won the NL MVP in 2010. Votto represented Canada at the 2009 & 2013 World Baseball Classics. He also won the Lou Marsh Award as Canada’s athlete of the year in 2010 & 2017. All 21 of Votto’s MLB and MiLB seasons have been in the service of the Cincinnati Reds. He did play two off-seasons with the unaffiliated Leones del Escogido of the Dominican Winter League. He is a huge fan of Ted Williams. He even grew up with a poster of Williams on his bedroom wall. Watch Votto’s interview with MLB TV’s Brian Kenny to hear how deeply Votto valued Williams’ 1970 book The Science of Hitting. Votto played in the minors on affiliated teams in leagues labeled Rookie 2X, A, A+ 2X, AA & AAA.

Article: birth rate plunging as Millennials don't want kids. And when they do, they’re only having one child. For populations to remain steady parents would need to have two or three kids.
