oh, by the way… congratulations to Denise Kennedy… she won $10,000 at the Bridgeport Bluefish game on Wednesday night… she guessed the right combination of plays (the Bluefish “hit for the cycle”… single, double, triple, and homerun in the fourth inning) and was then able to win the big money…

White House beers… What is Joe Biden trying to do?  It looks like he is either rolling dice or trying to crack a walnut with his bare hands

WIN $10,000… MAYBE: BRIDGEPORT BLUEFISH TONIGHT… WINNING INNING WEDNESDAY… game starts at 7:05pm… BallPark at Harbor Yard… sign up, and if the right combination of plays or hits happens… you could win $10,000…

here’s the weather for the Connecticut/Long Island/NYC area…

Today is the unofficial half way day of summer…

Just an observation…  you don’t really hear anyone saying “did you hear what they said on the radio this morning” anymore, do you…

Here’s the Connecticut/Long Island/NYC area weather…

a beautiful day…  and I will celebrate by going to… the dentist.  Because I’m unemployed, I’m trying to save money by finding cheaper medical care.  This dentist isn’t bad, but he told me to keep my teeth in shape by chewing on harder biscuits.  He also said I was gaining a little weight so I should go outside and chase more cats and rabbits.  I’d like to apologize to his front office staff… but I get nervous when I go to a new doctor, and I swear I’ll pay to have that carpet cleaned in the waiting room.
