After years of not wanting to bother with another social media platform for the glove repair, I'm having fun posting the before and after shots as short videos on IG. I'll keep posting them here but check me out there.

Immediately thought of the Dead Milkmen.
"We went to the Philly Pizza Company
And ordered some hot tea
The waitress said, "Well, no
We only have it iced"
So, we jumped up on the table
And shouted, "Anarchy!"

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Another used glove arrived in the mail. I always appreciate the notes included with the gloves and I invariably get a little misty.

I just bought $23(!!!) tickets on Stubhub for Paul McCartney in Minneapolis next week.

I've seen him 5 times and never paid under $100.

I wouldn't sleep on those 🎟 if you're interested. I sent a mass email to all my music students parents letting them know those are available.

21000 days ago (April 9, 1968), Major League Baseball postpones Opening Day in deference to the funeral of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

King was assassinated five days earlier.

48000 days ago (May 7, 1894), Boston SS Herman Long misses a game after flicking cigar ashes into his own eye. Long did a trick where he flipped a lit cigar in the air and caught it in his mouth. Most of the time it worked. But not all the time. He tries to return tomorrow but leaves the game early.

A while back someone gave me these newspaper copies of the game stories mounted on poster board.

I found a Reddit thread on the adjacent Field neighborhood. I delivered mail in some of that area in the past. As mentioned on Reddit airplane noise can be an issue.

A project I would love to do but don't know if I could pull off: go through my ticket stubs and find one for every day of the year and then post them sequentially starting January 1st.

49 years ago today I was at the St. Paul Civic Center for a Minnesota Fighting Saints game (I have pretty much saved all the ticket stubs from every sporting event, concert I've ever attended).
