I’m an old dog, lazy, slow to move and with not much bite left in my bark. But I’m also a proud Lefty with strong fact-based opinions. I won’t gnaw on just any old bone… unless I know it’s history.

Today’s “BrainWorm” award goes to: RFK, Jr. “Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he is removing every member of the independent panel advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccines, an unprecedented escalation in his quest to reshape the agency.”

Stephen Miller. A man of the Trump, by the Trump and for the Trump. open.substack.com/pub/borowitz...

My wife recently spent 10 days in NM for a wedding. I’m not able to fly any more b/c of stupid health issues. Instead, I’m ending a 2-week stay at a local Senior Living place. I’m 72, so I guess I fit in. I use a power chair for transport and wear a flannel shirt all the time. It was a eye-opener

Philly pitcher Nick Abel started his first big league game on Sunday and finished with 9 Ks. He was the first Philly pitcher to do so since Curt Simmons in’47 … 5 years before I showed up!

Robert Reich hits the Trump, I mean the nail on the head. open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Listen. It’s better than reading and the facts are same…

The Fightins are still up by one in the 4th thanks to another Schwarbomb! Can they, will they win another series?

I’ll follow the game as best as I can, probably on my tablet. I can’t watch the game on the tv because wife says no. She hates baseball. This is a relatively new phenomenon. When we got hitched 50 years ago, she was just as much a fan as I am now. You. Just. Never. Know. GO PHILS!

@jimmusilpainter.bsky.social Your skyScapes are exceptional. I think how the sky’s interpreted can make or break a painting. Fine work!

We’ve got problems. Right here in River City… No, actually Newark, NJ. The mayor was arrested and detained by ICE. Very concerning situation.

Unions. That’s a big part of the American story in the early years of the 20th century. They were a big difference between a real middle class and a poor low class with no opportunities to improve their situation. F.I.S.T. is one of those movies that stuck with me…

Looking back on one of my favorite Phillies players, Johnny Callison: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_... There were plenty of greats that matched his game, but there was none better.

I’m sitting here watching a documentary on the history of Major League Baseball. Yeah, they paint a rosy picture of it, but baseball’s story is truly the one thing that every part of the country enjoys together… Together. Something sorely needed now.

Apparently Emmitt Smith hates to hear the Eagles chant and their Fight Song. I suggest that he save himself the money he’d pay on Phillies tickets. You’ll hear it in the stands there too, Emmitt. Go Birds!
