I worked from home Wednesday afternoon knowing we’d be driving downtown to celebrate Shivonne’s birthday. Took an 1:15 to get there through rush hour traffic.
Had no idea there would be a full house: Will & MC, Shivonne & Millie, Anna & Caleb, MC’s parents, Matthew, MC’s brother Thomas, and his wife Holly.
Will cooked chili, then we had cake and ice cream. Was after 945 when we got home. I was exhausted, and went to bed.
After a week at Disney World, Shivvy had a Disney birthday. Princess cake. Disney dresses. Fashionable jeans.
Jewelry. Album from the trip with her pictures with the princesses – and their autographs.
Slept late this AM and missed the gym. Couldn’t run this afternoon because of Halloween. Didn’t feel like wearing anything fun for Halloween (except my bright blue Sonic the hedgehog socks). Super busy at work today. I am about to scream.
Dodgers win the World Series. Lots of looting and violence in LA, including at the Nike store. What a wonderful world we live in. Just a warmup until after the election results come in.
JACKIE ROBINSON [SABR Bio] was the first black player elected to the Hall of Fame: HOF 1962. His middle name is an homage to a political leader. Jack Roosevelt Robinson was born 31-Jan-1919. President Theodore Roosevelt had passed away 06-Jan-1919. He made the U.S. Olympic team in the broad jump (long jump) but did not participate in the International Olympic Games. Robinson qualified in the broad jump after winning the NCAA finals. However, the games of 1940 were canceled due to the outbreak of WWII.
Caitlin Clark is receiving golf lessons from Nelly Korda, in advance of her appearance at Annika’s upcoming tournament.
Bob Uecker’s interview with CBS Sunday Morning. Ninety year old Uecke was heartbroken when his Brewers fell just short of the playoffs. Will he return to the broadcast booth next year? You bet.
DENISON: Neiman Marcus removes “Christmas” from their gift catalog. ME: that’s it. I’m never shopping at Neiman Marcus again. Sure there are allegedly 14 “holidays” taking place in November and December and everyone doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but Denison has a point in his article that’s worth a read. No, there's not a war on Christmas. There’s a war on Christianity. You’re either on one side or the other.
LANG: the seminal American poet Antwan Patton once said, “I heard it’s not where you’re from it’s where you pay rent.” Which is a lyrical way of noting that your background isn’t necessarily as important as wherever you are in the present.
A Chinese student faces criminal charges for voting in Michigan – but the ballot will apparently count. Who said non-US citizens can’t vote? In Pennsylvania voters in line to vote are being told to leave by Democrats posing as election officials. All this evidence of election interference every day, yet so many are turning a blind eye. Then when someone doesn’t accept the election results, people wonder why.
