Phenomenal Sunday Results - Mets Snap an Eight Game Skid

MLB - I sat and watched the last two innings of the "Subway Series" on tenterhooks as the Bronx Bombers threatened the Mets. It was still too close for comfort, but way to go, Todd Frazier! He was responsible for the only runs, and for the first time, the Bombers were blanked. Learn to live with disappointment, boys. I still love @Giancarlo818, @DidiG18, and @TheJudge44. I am just not a Yankees fan.

Find Your Broom, Warriors.

Okay, a word about the NBA Finals, 3-0. Hmm. . .I have not watched one minute of the games this year. I just have zero interest. 💤😴It's long past the time for two teams not Golden State or Cleveland to be in the NBA Finals, so other teams had better step up to get this sports fan watching again. If this happens again next year, I will respond the same way by watching more baseball! ⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

The Lady Has Returned. . . Again.

At long last, I am back! My schedule and energy levels did not permit me to blog at all during May. Now that the school year is ended, the Lady is back in the house with plans to post nearly every day possible.

First my prayers go up for the family of Dwight Clark, maker of "the Catch" against my Dallas Cowboys. It was a fantastic play, and according to my reports, Mr. Clark was a gentleman. Rest in peace, sir.
