DIARY

– WEATHER – Yeah, it’s either hot and scorching or a riot of thunderstorms. Pretty much everywhere. Except here in New York. Where it’s nice. We had a weekend of rain, but I wasn’t complaining.

– TIGERS – Last Monday I predicted that the Tigers would have to starting beating ace team or their best-records-so-far wouldn’t amount to much. The next day they went into their three home game series against the World Championship White Sox and lost 7-1. I wasn’t happy. The Tigers went on to win the series with the next 2 games, and then win a series (2-1) against Oakland. The White Sox are 6.5 games behind in the division; the equivalent of 2 series. I can breathe a little easier. The playoffs are looking more and more possible.

– JULY – is Doghouse Repairs month.
– HAPPY BIRTHDAY – Alexandre Dumas père, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Amelia Earhart.
