Rooting for my favorite Braves player of all time, my childhood hero, and one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
When I was at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown last month, I thought about what his plaque would look like.
I really hope Dale Murphy gets his well-deserved Hall call this evening. 🤞

The first two ornaments that go on our Christmas tree every year. Here’s hoping there is a third similar ornament to go on the tree this time next year.

Now we have a trade!!! Dubon is obviously an upgrade offensively to Allen, and plays everywhere defensively.

Didn’t see any snow in Canada or New England. But come home to North Georgia on Nov. 10? Sure!
It’s not even Thanksgiving yet.

Not my usual beach. Breathtaking drive through southern Vermont and New Hampshire to the Maine coast today. Drove back through Massachusetts.
New England is really pretty. So glad I came here - and of course, Cooperstown!!!
Flying home tomorrow. Back to work and the routine come Monday. I’m ready!

Coincidence that this news happens on the same day I wear my gold Ozzie jersey to the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown? I think not!
Also: we love Ozzie (and the Hall of Fame is absolutely bucket-list, must-do for any baseball fan. Amazing!).

First night in Winnipeg was awesome! @cptcanucklehead.bsky.social, his son, and Greg met me for dinner and Jays baseball downtown. Great start to the trip!
Tonight, in that rink in the background of the pic, I will attend my first NHL game since 2011. Very excited to say the least.

30 years ago tonight, the greatest moment I’ve ever experienced at a sporting event. Braves 1, Cleveland 0, Game 6 of the 1995 World Series.
Finally, my team, my hometown, World Series champions. A dream come true for a 22-year-old kid blessed to see it in person, in the stadium in which I grew up.

Crazy to think that this time next week, I’ll be sitting in that rink.

Need to finish Mindset. The other two came in today; two more arrive tomorrow. I’m off for the next five weeks and about to spend at least the next week-plus at the beach reading and relaxing.
I read “Skipper” at the beach last month. One of the best baseball books I’ve read in some time.

The pictures in my phone tell me it was 8 1/2 weeks ago. Feels like 8 years ago.

So instead of watching the Falcons - which sadly I am now home and just turned it on; what the hell? - I visited my first Tim Hortons today. Good stuff.
There is a place “a few miles” northwest of here that has quite a few Tim Hortons. Possibility is increasing that I visit said place next month.

11:50 a.m. Fifteen minutes before the 12:05 p.m. first pitch. Falcons opening day + early start time + Braves long out of the playoff race = lotta unoccupied seats.

Also, I’ve spent this week recharging and enjoying the serenity of views like this, so I would appreciate the hometown ballclub not jolting me back to reality this weekend.
