I am conflicted, too, GV, we are in the kingdom of Tonga, and will soon cross the international date line, again, so it will be Wednesday when it is Tuesday there. Should I read the Wed. Paper and tell you the Mets',score before Tues night? Is it ethical? Have I been drinking to much fermented coconut juice? Go Mets and Go GV

Ed, I am sure you have had too much fermented coconut juice, but I would suggest you follow the games via the Internet at a Starbucks. 11/20/2015 07:20:12 am
HA ha. I'm sorry I'm not so much in baseball, but the first comment just made me laugh. Stop drinking fermented coconut juice!)) And come on, it's the era of internet. Comments are closed.

In her latest post, Renkl describes the dedicated core of “born teachers” – the majority, she submits.) *** (From Madeleine Albright in one of her final interviews in February): “Putin is small and pale,” I wrote, “so cold as to be almost reptilian.” He claimed to understand why the Berlin Wall had to fall but had not expected the whole Soviet Union to collapse. “Putin is embarrassed by what happened to his country and determined to restore its greatness.” – Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, recalling her first meeting with the relatively unknown Vladimir Putin in 2000. – The New York Times, Feb. 23, 2022.
