A Little Outta Kilter

Contrary to popular belief, I am still here. However, I have a lot going on at 72 years old:

1. I am finishing my book, and it is taking a lot of time (May 2026 is the tentative release), and I am working with a group who have helped 272 other authors reach the Top 10;
2. My daughter is getting married on August 23rd, with my youngest son performing the ceremony, and my wife (not my daughter’s mother) is the Wedding Planner. All three of my kids will be at the wedding, and they all have different mothers. My daughter’s mother will not be attending. That’s all I have to say about it.Of course, my middle son’s mother is no longer with us.
3. I have to get my shoulder totally replaced on August 27th.
4. My wife is having me supervise the construction of a new restaurant (Lola’s Table), which will open on December 1 (Asian Fusion).
5. I remain the Chairman of US Water Systems and devote approximately 20 hours a week to the company.
6. I am very involved with all seven grandkids’ lives.
7. I mow our 3.5-acre property every 5-6 days (all the green stuff).

… and I watch every Dodger game. I just don’t have a lot of time to post. I am not shutting the blog down, but I am considering a few options…. stay tuned.

Last night’s game was great. I loved it when Clayton blew Scherzer a kiss and waved bye-bye to him when Max was removed from the game. Translation: “Max, you are my bitch!”

Mookie is becoming… Mookie!

This team is bound for glory.

Kendall George is doing things that likely NO OTHER human being could do. Tonight, he had 3 hits, scored 3 times, and had 2 stolen bases. George has 67 stolen bases on the year and has his average up to .262 with an on-base percentage of .380.

But, his on-base percentage last… pic.twitter.com/nUyGgucO3s

Mookie Betts crushes a hanging slider from Max Scherzer for a 2-run home run to put the Dodgers up 2-1.

It's Mookie's first home run since July 5th.

He's now 6-for-his-last-11.

Body language is different. Look in his eyes is different. Is Betts back?
