I began doing "a day in the life" blogs in January in response to a 30-day challenge from the Rave Reviews Book Club (@RRBC). I missed one day and my negligence eliminated me from the challenge. That's okay; however, I have been remiss in adding more blogs to this...
Day in the Life POSTS
A Day in My Life – Gratitude Edition – January 24, 2023
 A lesson in gratitude for today. On Sunday I bought a huge package of stew meat from BJs. It was way too big for the two of us to eat. I made a big crock pot of beef stew and still had a lot left over. I was trying to figure out how to freeze it when a woman with...
A Day in My Life – Major Snow Edition – January 23, 2023
We have about six inches of snow today and it's still steadily falling. I've been listening to the radio station where I work all morning. They run a show every weekday at this time called The Roundtable from 9 AM-noon ET (www.wamc/roundtable.org). The first...
A Day in My Life – Gifted and Talented Edition – January 22, 2023
Today I'm winding down a bit, trying not to get too involved in anything. Some people I saw this morning at church were all hyped up about the Buffalo Bills-Cincinnati Bengals football game tonight. I don't really follow football, but I do understand why this may be...
A Day in My Life – Red Sox Edition – January 21, 2023
Today I got up early (well, early for me) and drove the 100 miles it takes to get to the MGM Grand Casino to attend Red Sox Winter Weekend. This is an event they began in 2015 (n.b.: I have attended all of them--none took place in 2021 and 2022 due to the pandemic). I...
A Day in My Life – Red Sox Winter Weekend Preview – January 20, 2023
Well, here it is, Friday, and I haven't accomplished much today. I did go to the sporting goods store and purchased baseballs to bring with us tomorrow to the #RedSox Winter Weekend event. My son, grandson, and granddaughter (the only female grandchild we have out of...

It’s a novel about baseball–and life.
Three strangers met by chance in 1972 with one thing in common: baseball. They want to become major league baseball players. They were star pitchers on the baseball teams in their respective home towns, and baseball is what brought them together to play for a minor-league team in a remote town in western New York.

A Day in My Life – Snowing Edition – January 19, 2023
We haven't had much snow here in the great northeast this year. We're 250 miles east of Buffalo, New York, the city that was slammed at Christmas. Normally, we've had several snowstorms by this time every winter, but this year is different. California is being...
A Day in My Life – Kindergarten Edition – January 18, 2023
Today was kindergarten day for me. I simply don't know how the teacher has enough energy to do her job every day. What energy! What creativity! What tenacity! I only go in Wednesday mornings; she's there every day. Today's lesson was on the letter "Q" (lower- and...
A Day in My Life – Gray Day Edition – January 17, 2023
A great day with mixed precipitation. My late mother would have said, "It feels like snow," but it's rain that's falling from the sky, with the temperature hovering precariously near the 32-degree mark. I dread the thought that the roads may turn into a giant skating...
A Day in My Life – MLK Jr. Remembrance Edition – January 16, 2023
I have been listening to speeches and remembrances of Martin Luther King, Jr. on the radio and television today, also reading tributes in major newspapers. I know several musicians who are doing performances today--ones I wish I could have attended. On this day, I...
A Day in My Life – Civil Rights Edition – January 15, 2023
Today is Martin Luther King, Jr.'s actual birthday. Public Broadcasting ran a documentary covering the music of the Civil Rights Movement, so two of my great musical buddies and I got together, ordered a pizza, and watched the show. What memories it brought back to...
A Day in My Life – Saturday Edition – January 14, 2023
On this gray (and on-and-off snowy) Saturday, I have been busy doing things around the house and errands outside of the house. I missed the RRBC "Eyes on the Book" session because I was involved in something else and looked up, noticing that the clock said 12:45...
