Staycation Notes

The cartoon above does not accurately portray what I did this week so far.  I have spent some time on the computer, but do not "sunbathe" under a lamp.  I have done a lot of walking around northern Queens and finish up by reading on a park bench.  I am now reading the following book:

Clark, A, Schlossberg, D. (2014). Called out but safe: A baseball umpire's journey.

It is interesting to read about baseball from the perspective of an umpire.  Al Clark was one of only a few Jewish umpires in the history of Major League Baseball.

Some other notes:

• Julia Collins won gave #12 last night, so we'll be watching Jeopardy tonight as she tries for #13.  For the second game in a row she won even though she missed Final Jeopardy
• I just can't sleep late when I am on vacation.
• Today is Mary Shaw's birthday.  Al Gordon wished her a happy birthday on his radio show on WJPR this morning.  I sent Cousin Brucie an e-mail asking him to announce it.  Right now I am listening to the Cuz.  I am sure that he will do it during his 4 hour show.
