Old Time photograph that I wish were true today. One can lose all sense of anticipation and excitement if the season is too long. Baseball is now like hockey, over 9 months. I remember when the only thing you get in February was Street and Smith's Baseball Yearbook. And the November Classic was played in October. I liked that.

Ernie Banks was already on the downside of a wonderful career when I became familiar with him, but he was still good for the long ball and the smiling countenance. There are people like Ernie who are blessed because they bless us. I always had the feeling he didn't really want to play two except that we wanted to watch him play two and he was thrilled to oblige.

"The day after my 80th birthday, which overflowed with good wishes, surprises and Covid-safe celebrations, I awoke feeling fulfilled and thinking that whatever happens going forward, I’m OK with it. My life has been rewarding, my bucket list is empty, my family is thriving, and if everything ends tomorrow, so be it.
"Not that I expect to do anything to hasten my demise. I will continue to exercise regularly, eat healthfully and strive to minimize stress. But I’m also now taking stock of the many common hallmarks of aging and deciding what I need to reconsider."
--Jane E. Brody, my pal in the NYT newsroom, oh, a few years back, in the Personal Health column, Sept. 13, 2021.

"People have said to me, ‘You’re fully vaccinated. Why are you being so careful?’” said Dr. Robert M. Wachter, professor and chair of the department of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. “I’m still in the camp of I don’t want to get Covid. I don’t want to get a breakthrough infection.”
