Skipped the gym this morning. The girlies slept over last night. We filled up the little plastic swimming pool and they jumped in and played. Read books. I slept on the couch because Millie’s little playpen was in the way from when I would be getting up in the middle of the night. Winnie stayed downstairs with me. Didn’t want to wake them up getting my gym clothes, so I skipped. My excuse anyway. Today they are going over to see Noelle’s new puppy.
Lang looks like he has lost more weight. Making me jealous. In a related note, I went to Wendys this morning for two $1 biscuits, then back at lunch for two $1 chicken sandwiches. I really need to cut back. At night we’ve been eating the leftover homemade peach ice cream that C had made.
My understudy Leo will be on vacation next week, so I will be at my desk more. My other understudy Josh was on vacation this week.
Grind House Killer Burgers: last time we ate there we had to park down that street. Maybe going early was helpful.
Nothing on tap for the weekend, that I know of. Need to pay some bills and trim some hedges. I made a TO DO list. Includes several big projects.
C wants to fly to NYC for a long day trip, to see an art exhibit before it closes. I’m not good at coordinating flights and stuff like that. Shoot if we take the trouble to fly up there, we might as well spend at least one night. Might look into it tonight.
When will Caitlin Clark return to action – any idea? I hear she is day to day. But as Vin Scully said, aren't we all?
NEWS: right now I am down to only 5 emails in my in box, which means I need to take action on them. Three emails are personal, that I use every day. I'm not the only one getting caught up on a Friday afternoon.

ROGERS HORNSBY [SABR Bio] holds the highest single season batting average of the modern era in the National League, with .424 in 1924. He replaced Branch Rickey as Cardinals manager in 1925. In 1926 the Cardinals won their first World Series when Hornsby tagged out Babe Ruth trying to steal second in the 9th inning of game seven. Hornsby began with the Cardinals in 1915, ended with the Browns in 1937.
