Today's song: Sax and Violins.#
In 2015, the year the Mets won the National League title, I saw a friend who I knew was a Yankees fan wearing a Mets hat, and asked about it. He said we've always liked the Mets, it's Mets fans we don't like. I thought that wsa pretty good, esp for a Yankees fan. I doubted he ever had actually been a Yankees fan.#

Must've been a good one#
Wonder what the joke was.#

I'm sure it's horribly illegal to threaten people the way he did, and he did it in public. # I caught a bit of the last Wheel of Fortune . The three players were celebs: Vanna White, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik. What was remarkable was how super-human Jennings is. He could solve the puzzle with almost no information. I have no clue how he saw the patterns. He has freakish intelligence. # Someone should tell the kids the Repubs will come for their weed. Just sayin.

If you live to be 81, I bet the last thing you want to do, after the life he's had, is to be in this position. We should get behind him, and tell him so, let him know we don't want anyone else, and we
