Last night C turned on not a Hallmark movie but instead “I Do (But I Don’t)” starring Denise Richards and Dean Cain. I looked the movie up to get info, and saw that it wasn’t the only movie where Dean Cain played a fireman - he's been a fireman in several movies. When the movie ended, I turned on the talk show Gutfeld – and Dean Cain was a guest on the show, for the first time ever. Weird coincidence.
Since I have today off, I slept in, then went to the gym later than usual, arriving at 850 am. Lots of cars in the parking lot. Ran / walked for three miles and had a pretty good time, considering that I didn’t want to tax myself too hard. Then I decided to walk a 4th mile, raising the incline level on the treadmill. Saw several of the regular early birds, plus my other friend Reid and C’s friend Nancy.
C was happy to be back home from the beach.
I had some errands to run today, but wanted to wait until the rain passes through first. Not trying to do any work today, but have been clearing out my emails. Will start next week with over 50 emails in my in box, but will be able to clear out 15-20 pretty quick.
Took Ceil's car thru the carwash and also cleaned out the inside and vacuumed it out real al good. Got my drink at RaceTrac and two ice creams at Burger King. Total cost of the excursion? One dollar.
John Grisham's Camino Ghosts is pretty good. I should finish up tomorrow. Next up: Big Dumb Eyes, by comedian Nate Bargatze.
Nice for me to be able to have two Saturdays this weekend.
Here’s a good review of Hog Heaven BBQ, the place I want to visit if I ever return to Pawley’s Island.

SHOCKING NEWS: there’s been a marked decline in semicolons in English books and novels, a study suggests.
SANDY KOUFAX [SABR Bio] is the only pitcher to lead the major leagues in the pitching Triple Crown in consecutive seasons. Koufax led the NL and AL in wins, strikeouts, & ERA in 1965 & 1966, his last two seasons in the majors: 1965 - 26 W; 382 K; 2.04 ERA and 1966 - 27 W; 317 K; 1.73 ERA. As a rookie in the majors, Koufax bumped pitcher Tommy Lasorda down to the minors. Lasorda would never play for the Dodgers again. The Dodgers sent down pitcher Tommy Lasorda to make room on the roster for Koufax who never played a game in the minors. Lasorda liked to say, “It took the greatest left-handed pitcher in baseball history to get me off that Brooklyn club – and I still think they made a mistake.” Lasorda played 18 games for the A’s in Kansas City the next year. Koufax was the first pitcher to win at least two World Series rings, win at least two Cy Young Awards, and throw at least two no-hitters. Koufax played on WS champs in 1959, 1963 & 1965. He won the MLB Cy Young Award in 1963, 1965 & 1966. His no-hitters were: 30-Jun-1962 vs. NYM; 11-May-1963 vs. SFG; 04-Jun-1964 at PHI; & 09-Sep-1965 vs. CHC. Tim Lincecum, Justin Verlander, and Max Scherzer have since matched his feat of 2+ WS rings, + Cy Youngs, and 2+ no-hitters.
