For the baseball fans; players being paid millions of dollars can still play like little leaguers.

I have been rewatching two shows.
1. 'The Ranch' is a comedy/drama series on Netflix. It has an all-star cast, with Ashton Kutcher, Danny Masterson, Sam Elliott, Debra Winger, Elisha Cuthbert, and Debra Jo Rupp. It was canceled last year.
2. 'The Boys' follows a team of non-superpowered vigilantes as they combat superpowered individuals who abuse their abilities on Amazon Prime. The series has an ensemble cast that is great and this parody/dark-humored show has interesting storylines. It is R-rated with excessive gore and violence plus a lot of sexual references. It is like GOT with its violence, but basically on nudity. It may have more violence and gore than GOT. I like its sarcasm and often gallows humor. Season three is greenlit and I hear they may have a spin-off coming next year, or sooner. based on a group in superpower college based on G-Men from their comics.

I just had some of the best bubble gum gelato. I wonder if it is made with real cats named bubble gum?
Eating cat gelato!? Is your name ALF? Worldmeter is a reference I often use. Why would you not want a big-ass bar on your bike? Are you a teetotaler? Alfred Hitchcock is one of the top five greatest directors of all time. BTW the squirrel's name was Phat Gus.
Jeff, nice calicos, but where did you get those names? My granddaughter named our two cats. If it had been me, I would have called them Cat and Felix. (or maybe Stop-It and God-Damn-It. That is usually what Liz is yelling at them) Army of the Dead has not been getting very good reviews. (IMDB is a 5.8) How would you rate it? I am still on the Mets train to win the East, but they need to start getting healthy. Do they blackout the Mets games when they are playing out of your area? (like in Chicago)
Xander, I could bring my DVDs with me, and we could watch Glee tomorrow.
Sara, you asked about Butterscotch. He is a strange cat. After I take a bath, he licks and nibbles my feet and toes while I dry off.
Nothing for me today, but have a wonderful day, my friends.

I wanted to mention something today but forgot earlier. The US Covid death toll has passed 600,000 (nearing the total military deaths in the Civil War), but the number of new deaths has dropped dramatically, and more than half of all adults have been vaccinated. But yesterday, the world death tolls crossed 3,500,000. Africa, South America, and southwest Asia (especially India) deaths are still climbing. Some are predicting 5,000,000 by the end of the year. The WHO has stated that the world death totals may be 25-40% higher on a conservative estimate.
A situation I have followed during the Covid pandemic is US federal institutions. The VA has had more than 12,000 veterans' deaths. And the military death toll is at 315. That is more than the number of fatalities in Afganistan over the past eight years.
BTW all of the federal institutions (military, VA, and prisons) are not counted in the US numbers listed by the media.
I did not want to bring everyone down, so here is one of my kittens, Bubblegum.
MagBass, I enjoyed that squirrel video. Thanks!

Hi, fellow Spacers!
I found two kaiju cookies in my pocket from yesterday. I will share if anyone wants one. *drops it into the cookie jar*
A bit of herbal tea for me today.
Gillian, You are too kind. I understand about your dad. I have wandered off a few times. I went missing a while back for about six hours. The police found me napping in a small park. (I guess I got tired) That rarely happens anymore. We learned a few things to keep me at home. Liz never thought about a GPS doohickey. *just realized doohickey is a real word*
Elizabeth, I liked the 'cannot sleep' cartoon.
I hope you all saw the Super Flower Blood Moon last night and maybe the lunar eclipse that caused it. It was beautiful.

I'm feeling too many emotions at once today (good ones, don't worry) and yet...I could cry. I think I'll glue myself to Jane for awhile.
Hi everyone!!!
It is always a good day when you can pop by Xander.
Jeff, your Mets are doing OK. Right now, with all the injuries, they just need to win a few. When the big boys get back, they can catch up.
It is nice to see so many new faces around here. It seems we can have our own U.K. branch. I am looking forward to Verity's first work. No need to be worried about your stories as long as I am around. I described a dry mouth as 'a dry dessert.' You can not get any worse than some of the stuff I have posted. If you ever need help, there are so many outstanding writers on Stories Space, and they have always been friendly and helped me out.
I need some writer brains today. I was having problems with words today. What is the difference between a homonym and a heterograph? Also, the same with homograph and heteronym? I know homophones are in there somewhere too? I have spent an hour online trying to figure it out. Help, please.
I am going to drown my frustrations with some green tea and a hand full of kaiju cookies. (Thanks, Sara)

Hi, everyone.6wY7jpxoZArxQbOe
Sorry for my disappearance. I was in the hospital for almost a week with an infected liver. With my dementia, that was awful! A steady routine helps me get through things, and everything was different in the hospital. They let me come home several days early because of it. I have been in bed a lot since getting home. I have a drainage bag coming out of my side, which sucks, but I will have to wear it for 4-6 weeks.
I am back and reading. I met a lovely young lass from the UK, Harley. I see she has popped in here, and that is great. Mostly watching baseball, but I am actually writing on paper. It looks like little kids' writing. My wife was laughing at it yesterday.
I am sorry I missed out on the kaiju cookies. Maybe Sara can make some more. A Sci-Fi channel on YouTube, The Templin Institute (I love this one), just recently had a series of the old Godzilla monsters on there.
I will have some tea and a cookie. I am still waiting to get my appetite back. The good news is that the illness did help me lose 35 pounds in a month.

How y'all are? Just so y'all know, odds are I wont be around as much as usual for the next few weeks. Here's why:
My number three great-grandchild will be coming home from the hospital today. 'Addy' checked in at six pounds twelve ounces and is ready to dominate family activities for some time to come. For those keeping counts, she's g-g kid number three and g-g daughter number two and is the first-born of my own first born's first-born.
Later in June, I'll head up to Lawrence, Kansas for a week of getting back in touch with the two earlier models of my great-grandkids. After days of doing this and that type family stuff, I'll tag-along with them plus their parents on our way to Phoenix. And so now you know why I'll probably be mostly out of pocket for awhile. ;)
Later, Inspirators.they
That is such great news. It is always great to be with the grandkids. I am still waiting for a g-g kid. My oldest grandkid is 18 now. He is still living in my house with my youngest son and his family. I hope you have a wonderful time with your family. Remind them who the clan head is, my friend.

Good to catch up with all your news. Mum was discharged from hospital yesterday, so fingers crossed that the pain relief she was given is sufficient to cope at home. It's her 90th birthday tomorrow.
WOW! That is excellent news! I bet your mom is glad to be out of the hospital. Happy birthday to her, and I hope she is feeling better. She will be in my prayers.

Salutations All!
Hi, Kim. I wish I could find some volleyball on my channels, as I do not have ESPN. I loved playing VB in the navy. I even got to play on a British team while posted to an RAF base. I was a top-notch digger.
You and Al make quite a team.
I wish playing catch was still possible, Scott. Playing catch with my grandkids would be great.
Jeff, your talent is obvious. Trust yourself. The hardest part is sitting down and typing. Please keep us updated so that I can buy your book. Can I pre-order?
I am not a fan of the seven-inning doubleheaders, but it should count as one if that is a complete game. If the pitcher throws a shutout, it counts as a complete game and a shutout. Madison Bumgarner pitched a no-hitter but did not count as one. That is wrong.
My son and daughter-in-law will not get the vaccine because they are young (in their thirties), and it will not affect them. When I explained why it was a good idea and did not cost anything, they told me it was not my business because Liz and I have had our shots. My youngest son and his wife are very headstrong, but I still respect and love them both.
Karl (Actung) has written a very nice piece of prose, 'Butterfly.' I recommend it.
Have a great day; my granddaughter has come in to play with the kittens.

The Brewers/Cubs game is tight, with the Brewers leading 1-0 after five innings. Francisco Tatis not only hit those two homers but including the next day, he hit two more home run, making it four homers in two days

Hello!
The games were fantastic yesterday. The Cubs and White Sox won, but there were a lot of other games that were fun to watch too.
The Diamondbacks/Braves game was a nail-bitter. The Braves hero was, without a doubt, Huascar Ynoa; he pitched six solid innings and went 2-for-2, including a double and RBI with his bat.
The Nationals/Mets game was one-sided, with the Mets shutting out the Nationals 6-0. This could have been suspected with deGrom pitching. Jacob deGrom threw a two-hit shutout with 15 strikeouts and no walks.
He matched Washington's hit total himself, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. His ERA so far this year dropped to 0.31.
The Padres were impressive in their 6-1 victory. Fernando Tatís had three hits, including a pair of homers and three RBIs. Most of all, I enjoyed watching a battery of Yu Darvish and Victor Caratini. I watched them together since 2018 in Chicago.
I am genuinely a baseball nerd/nut.
The weather here in the Chicago area is starting to warm. It hit 16ºc today.
I will have a cuppa Earl Grey today, I watched some 'Faulty Towers' last night, and now I am feeling a bit British.
A funny thing happened yesterday. I was on the phone with my agent for my refinancing. He asked me to ask Liz a question. As we were waiting, as Liz dug some papers, the agent asked me to tell Liz thank you. I then raised my voice and said, "He said to hurry up." Needless to say, he was gobsmacked. I winked at Liz so that she knew what was going on. I definitely did not want Liz mad at me. The agent was sputtering, "I did not say that." and such. Then he heard us both giggling and realized we were pulling his leg. Yes, this is my sense of humor. He then started laughing hard. When he stopped, he said, "That made my day." He continued to chortle as we continued.
Everyone, please have a safe and wonderful Sunday.

I just watched the Brewers/Cubs game. The Cub's bats have come to life, blowing up the Brew Crew 15-2.
On this date, in 1939, Ted Williams hit his 1st home run, and in 1954 Hank Aaron hit his 1st home run. The Splendid Splinter and The Hammer were two of the best baseball players ever.
Now I get to watch all of the other important games tomorrow morning.
Good night Spacers. Sleep tight, and don't let the Covid bug bite.

Hello, fellow Spacers.
Sara, your trowel-shaped cookies bring back a memory from my youth. Art Linkletter used to say, "Kids Say the Darndest Things." They do the darndest things too. Several friends and I were playing in the backyard. We were in the 4th grade. I pilfered a box of ice cream from the icebox, forgot to get spoons. We tried our fingers, but you can imagine how poorly that worked. I checked our shed and found a trowel. After I used my shirt to clean it off, we took turns using it to eat the ice cream—what a mess. I got in big trouble because the ice cream was meant for my sister's birthday.
The Mets vs. Cubs game last night was a nail-biter. Especially in extra innings.
The Mets/Nationals series should be a great one to watch. I know I am going to enjoy it.
A cuppa and a trowel cookie for me today. I must runoff. There is a lot of paperwork waiting for me.
I hope all of you have following seas today.
I noticed that today is the 16th anniversary of the first YouTube video. After just 16 years, YouTube has become a juggernaut. I spend hours every day on YouTube, and it is where I get my news.

Happy Earth Day to all!!!: 
It is warming up a little. Tonight's Mets vs. Cubs game should be a little more normal, with the temperatures at 10ºc to 7ºc about 6ºc higher than the last two games. Even though last night was a blowout, Francisco Lindor had a good game, and Pete Alonso smashed a homer clear out of the park. We got to see Javier Baez hit left-handed, and Luis Guillorme got to pitch an inning for two consecutive years.
Do not worry about the Yankees, Bill. They will not be in last long. They have a great team this year.
I loved the celebratory photo for Earth Day, Larry.
I will have some green tea and a biscuit today as I sit looking out the window and then read awhile. Maybe I will play with Molly too.
I hope everyone has a productive day, Spacers.
If I did not have Grammarly and several good dictionaries and thesauruses, I would be lost in the deep weeds.

Hello, my fellow Spacers.
I am refinancing my house, and I hate paperwork. It is not as bad as buying my home because I am using the VA, but hunting for all the documents makes my brain hurt.
Gill that is the best peepshow I have seen in a long time, yummy.
Larry, I have been around for a long time, and I have never been in a time I would call normal.
Jeff, I am looking forward to tonight,s baseball game. I hope it is warmer. Last night's temperatures were chilling. Baseball plays differently in weather below 4c. I believe it contributed to the three misplayed infield groundballs last night, which lead to the Met's defeat. I am very political, and I agree with your analysis of the importance of the courts over the last few years. Plus, it is nice not to wake up to a new scandal every day. The George Floyd verdict was a welcome change and a big step forward.
Bill, a dinner with your granddaughter and steak! That is a great day.
BTW, Spacers, tomorrow is Earthday!
145 years ago, tomorrow was the very first NL baseball game. The Boston Red Caps beat the Philadelphia Athletics.

Hi everyone!
Every day is a new challenge, good and bad. My youngest grandson, Gabriel, had a fun dinner sneaking two pieces of bacon off my plate. He did not know I saw him as he gobbled them down, and he was so happy. Gabriel loves bacon. He is like me with daily challenges; he has severe non-verbal autism. He is the joy of my life. Happy with life with intermingling fits of frustration.
Sara's Mets played the Cubs this weekend in an explosive set of games. Saturday, the Cubs smashed the Metros 13-4, but on Sunday, the Mets came right back, pummeling the Cubs 13-4. It was a symmetrical weekend. Larry's Padres may have lost the series to the Dodgers but showed how talented the team is. They could win the central division, but unfortunately, the only team better than them is the Dodgers. I think the Padres are the favorite to be the NL wildcard team. If you want to watch a young, exciting team, the Whitesox are just what you need. They are where the Cubs were in 2015 with better pitching.
Jeff, did your cookies have pictures of pitchers? It would fit in with your love of baseball and your talent at wordplay.
Sara, I am so glad to hear about your improvement.
BTW peeps are not the tasty chick treat, are they? If so, I will eat them all up. I am almost addicted to those little buggers. <rubbing hands together hungrily>

I just got back from watching G vs. KK with my oldest grandson, Joel. It was what I expected, and we both enjoyed the ape vs. lizard fights. Liz is mad at me for buying popcorn because it is so expensive.
MLB.TV has changed its viewing UI, and I do not care for it, but what can I do. The Cubs finally won again by knocking the Braves around. The Cubs should have an elite batting order, but they are ranked at the bottom three in NL in most offense categories.
(last in AVG, 14th in OBP, 13th in SLG, and 14th in OPS)
I was considered a top coffee maker in the Navy. It would be best if you only washed a coffee pot about twice a month. You are just washing out the wonderful flavor; at least, that is what I was taught. <giggles madly>
I am glad Henrietta is back.
It is always a high point every day I get to drop by. You are all such fantastic people.
