Overcast and rain is coming.......

First and foremost:  I spilled most of my Starbucks coffee in class today - caught it all on a handkerchief that while still moist, reeks of coffee.......

We have a banking problem:  so much information available that it is too difficult to find something specific - we found what the bank did not pick up where they should have picked up....and based upon that initial bank data, there'll be some corrections made......such is life......

I've now got the books I want to read on my Kobo reader as well as my iPhone.   want to get the app on my Leitz Phone 2 and get the photos to transfer elsewhere because the Leitz camera is simply too good and I should find a use for it!

7 Baseball

It is late morning on a wet Saturday as the rains - more than a drizzle but not enough for me to consider taking an umbrella with me were I to go out - have been (more or less) steady since early morning, yesterday.  I'm gonna be indoors all day, today - still in my pajamas - no need to go out.......and our small home is pleasantly, comfortably warm - with a thermal vest atop the pj tops as the central heating keeps our place warm. My life is intertwined with baseball tying so much more than the game into it.  Yeah, 'Baseball is Life'.........I wish I still had that T shirt!  I have been on a baseball odyssey from sometime in September, 1944 when my mother and her sisters Sarah and Faye  and 4 cousins attended Ladies Day at Ebbetts Field where the St Louis Cardinals beat the Brooklyn Dodgers.   Of course I don't remember it!  But it is what I do remember from 18 September 1947 on - far more than just the Dodgers and World Series matters.  I have h...

I got home just as Freddie's class began.  The legions of women watercolor painters who simply adore Freddie Manseau makes his Zoom class quite entertaining.  Freddie is a true character - the extent to which he plays up on this to keep his classes large is open to conjecture but regardless, I am enjoying painting! I was just about to pay for lunch at the St John's Cafeteria when Katherine called - I met her at Sawtelle after lunch.  I also discovered along the way that the # 17 bus travels both ways along Sawtelle,...
