But I suppose that works as an excuse too. *g*
Today in history:
- 1920 – Ray Chapman of the Cleveland Indians was hit on the head by a fastball thrown by Carl Mays of the New York Yankees, and died early the next day. He is only the second player to die from injuries sustained in a Major League Baseball game. The first was Doc Powers in 1909.
- 1930 – The first color cartoon with sound was Fiddlesticks. It was made by Ub Iwerks.
- 1954 – The first edition of Sports Illustrated was published.
Tonight on TV, we have new episodes of American Pickers and Rizzoli and Isles. I’ll also be watching last week’s R&I which I missed thanks to the dude tearing down the power lines. *g*
Reading: Now I’m reading Nan Sherwood in Palm Beach. This is the last of this series.
Let’s hope you have no power issues tonight! Can’t wait for Rizzoli and Isles tonight. I hadn’t realized there were actual deaths in MLB attributed to actually playing in a game.
I hope you’re having a good day!

We are expecting thunderstorms and I hope it doesn’t interfere with the cable signals tonight.

You’re making me wonder what the excuse was that you wouldn’t use. Was it rude? Profane? Stupid?
