"I spent some of my normal writing time hanging out with them. When you have a chance to catch up with old friends, do it."
I can't tell you how much I love this. I realized somewhat recently that while there remains so much of the world that I want to see, if I'm being honest with myself, my interest in exploring those places is secondary to my interest in connecting with the people I love. Ideally, I'll be able to do both in the coming years. But if I have to choose, I think I'm going to focus on my friends and family.
Also, one of the reasons why Joe (and others) might want it to be "waves" is because that's how it's written in the liner notes. I read those darn things w-a-y too closely when I was becoming a Bruce obsessive in my teens. You'd think they'd get it right. In this case, though, I'm not too sure. My 44-year-old ears hear "sways."
Alfre Woodard was on a talk show last week and said she loved that the majority of the set was over 60. She said what was doubly cool was that the over-50s and 60s were not stressed about things, not fazed when stuff went awry. Their experience spoke volumes.
Tommy, I don't know how you feel about Amazon, or shows that get cancelled before all the answers can be revealed, but my husband and I enjoyed Night Sky with Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons, which originally aired on Prime Video in 2022. Unfortunately, it did only run for one season; I would have loved to see what happened next!
Not only did Bob Horner pass away So did Claude Lemieux , Ramond Berry on the 25th and Dennis Hull (Chicago Black Hawk and a very good player. Last but not least Charlie Moore.. Played 14 of 15 years for the Brewers. A very versatile player. Caught 894 games and over 700 games between left and right. Threw out Jackson going from 1st to 3rd in the 5th inning. A pivotel play. That made it the 2nd out in the inning. If he had been safe at least one run would have scored giving the Angels a 4 to 2 lead. Moore was on third and scored the tying run on Cooper's hit. Gantar scored the winning run. Defintely a top ten monent in Brewer history
Loved book and film Bright Creatures. And M.Short doc too. I belong to the ghastly club of people who've lost a child..a club no one wants to join. Fate sems to bring us together..perhaps so we can comfort each other. My beauty was hit by a red light runner..only suicide could be worse. Keep your happy memories alive!
Thanks for sharing the Braves clip. So many memories rushing back from that period. I sat behind Doug Flynn and Bob Horner at a Kentucky basketball game in Rupp Arena and they both signed my ticket stubs. But I was totally stunned when I saw Doug had a hand gun stuck in the back of his jeans. Also seeing the late, great Umpire John McSherry caught in the middle of the melee. I still remember him collapsing and dying on the field in Cincinnati on Opening Day!

Friends and family above all! And yes, I neglected to include "waves" being in the liner notes. But you heard it right the first time :)
Thanks for the shout out buddy. What are you listening to is the crucial question?
That new Kacey Musgraves is #1 with a bullet at my house right now.

So cool to hear! And she is AWESOME in that show.
Today I Learned ... Joe Torre was with the Braves in the 80s.
I didn't start paying attention until 1990 or so.But always liked catchers, and especially catchers who become managers.
Yeah, he was the manager when they won 13 in a row to start the 1982 season. A brief run of glory days!

I do not know this one but will check it out...

Charlie Moore! I had forgotten about him...
Thanks, Tommy. Greg's piece was so great.
