Friday: the workers didn’t leave until 6 pm. They came back Saturday morning. They tiled the shower and put shelves and racks in the closet. Plus shelves in my new shoe closet. Three rows for about 18-21 pairs of shoes.
Our dinner with missionaries tonight was cancelled, and I had already cancelled the dinner reservation at Houstons. Went to Moxie Burger. I splurged and ordered a Coke Zero.
It's Saturday, but I went to the gym for 1-1/2 hours. Came home to Ceil’s breakfast: hash browns, bacon, eggs
Left the house at noon. Took Winnie on a 2-1/2 mile walk on the boardwalk down by the river. A 15000 step / 7 mile day. Then to Perimeter Mall. Stopped by Publix on the way home.
When I retired I was worried that I wouldn't be very productive, but for the most part I have been able to get needed stuff done just about every day. So much to do. My routine is to not wake up early, go to the gym in the morning, run any errands while I am out, come back and email Reid. There's usually stuff to do here in my office, plus I have gotten a list to refer to if needed. Not trying to work myself to death, just a slow steady knocking at least one or two things out every day.
I need to read more. The book I am reading is so interesting - The Iowa Baseball Confederacy. Not much baseball but mystical like the movie Field of Dreams was.
I do have more t-shirts than I need. Thought about selling a bunch of Braves t-shirts but I've already said how time consuming that is. Once all this construction is over and I have a place of my t-shirts again, maybe I'll wear a wider variety to the gym. Since I retired I have been wearing more t-shirts, hoodies, shorts, and warmup pants. Far fewer "normal" clothes.
JIM FREGOSI [SABR Bio] was born in San Francisco on 04-Apr-1942. When he managed the California Angels in 1978 & 1979, the ace of his pitching staff was Nolan Ryan for whom Fregosi, as a player, had been traded in December 1971. The trade sent Fregosi from the Angels to the Mets in exchange for Ryan, Leroy Stanton & two prospects. Fregosi was the manager of PHI from 1991-1996, including the 1993 WS & the oft-referenced World Series game 6 when Joe Carter hit the walk off home run to win the World Series. Fregosi finished his playing career as a shortstop for the Pirates in 1977-78. Fregosi and Barry Bonds are both alumni of Junipero Serra HS, San Mateo*, California, but a full generation apart.
The 60 year war against the US that most Americans never even knew was being fought.
