We Need More Pitch Clocks!

Two years ago, Major League Baseball added a PITCH CLOCK to the game. Recognizing the pitcher may need more or less time depending on circumstances, it works like this: MLB has different time limits for the pitch clock depending on the situation. They are: 15 seconds...

Why Bother?

I had an American Airlines flight booked many months ago how 11:30 AM. About two months ago, I got one of those YOUR FLIGHT HAS CHANGED emails. I hold my breath but am quickly relieved that it only changed from 11:30 to 11:15. The big day finally came, and the flight...

103 First Dates…Susan

After Linda, I would have a run of J-Daters, beginning with Susan. Susan was attractive, with reddish brown hair and some freckles. She lived in Wayne, which was very close to my former home in Devon. This always opened the possibility of her kids knowing my kids or,...

Just Loving Technology…

We were on our recent cruise, and I used my Kindle Fire for reading eBooks and watching downloaded movies and videos. It has a pretty decent battery life and I can go two or three days without charging it. I finally went to charge it and received this message: Your...

103 First Dates…Nancy

The inexplicable!

I like to think I’m a reasonable person. I know this can be subjective and y’all might not agree. After my Uber ride from the Miami Cruise Terminal to the airport, Uber was good enough to send me the detailed invoice of my ride: I rarely scan these but had nothing...

My Glass is Half Empty…

But it may depend on whom you ask! According to my server on the ship, this glass is FULL. He asked me if I wanted it refilled, and I said, please. I quickly glanced to see if the water bottle might be empty, but there was still half a bottle. I started to call him...

What’s All This About Bathrooms?

There seems to be quite a bit in the news lately about bathrooms, who can use which and why. I know it’s just one more thing allowing the trumpers to show their bigotry, as if they need an excuse. I am trying to understand their position. They fear that a man who was...

Cruising…

I’ve become a big fan of cruising; Deb and I have gone on cruises in the last three years. The huge plus for cruising is that it allows you to travel to places without flying. Cruising has its dynamic and admittedly, it’s not for everyone.  We prefer smaller...
