The 4 C’s
While I, perhaps dangerously, assume that everyone has heard of the 3 R’s of education – which for at least a couple obvious reasons never included spelling – I am not sure everyone has heard me talk about the 4 C’s. I have, though, been sharing them…
What’s Up!
Things actually started on Tuesday. Art, who is serving our country in Kuwait, hooked me up with WhatsApp. We made plans for him to join our men’s FHL group the following morning. Wednesday morning, checking on the Tiger’s late night game as I got up,…
Ecstasy and Agony
Tuesday evening I attended the Tiger game with one of my sons. Matt Boyd pitched six strong innings and left the game with a comfortable 7-0 lead. That is how things stayed until KC had two outs in the 8th inning. At that point Jimenez gave up a…
Sunny, but Cool
Last night was a beautiful evening, and I was SO ready for it. I sat on our deck while barbequing some fish and enjoying a little refreshment. Yes, I would have preferred the air to have been 20-30 degrees warmer. But there was no breeze, along with…
Talking about a Forbidden Topic
MONEY. There, the word is out there … the topic that no-one likes to talk about … especially when it comes to talking about their own! It is easier to talk about the government’s money, or that of my rich neighbor (who is my neighbor, anyway?). But I…
Cold!
The average high temperature in Eastpointe for April 22 is 60 degrees, with the average low around 42o. However, our highs the last two days have been at or below the average low – which of course means that the lows are south of 30o. And what did you…
One Up, One Down
How about those Tigers! They bounced right back from getting swept in Cleveland, and immediately made their own impressive "brooming" of Houston. Pitching … hitting … runs galore. It got a little dicey in the ninth inning last night, but Garcia struck…
First Place
On Easter morning I almost opened the announcements by saying, “How about those first place Tigers?!” Then, for a while yesterday I was hoping to be able to say it again today – all we needed was to hang on to our lead over the Twins and for Cleveland…
Why, O Why, O Why?!
Why, O why, O why was I still up at midnight on a Tuesday night during one of the busiest weeks of my year? The basketball game – exciting as it was – certainly did not end the way I hoped. Why, O why, O why, did the University of Michigan team look so…
Holey Head
While I probably should be writing about our second granddaughter being born this day, my deadline does not allow it. “Andi” will just have to wait to have her story told on another day. Yesterday, after a morning that brought back a variety of…
