Thursday Afternoon

Baseball Reference has technical problems and is not updating the daily stats. This pisses us off no end. We like our morning stat update. Ah, there we go. Back up again. The Phillies' own Kyle Schwarber has 45 homeruns and 109 RBIs. He's the MVP. 

So our podiatrist recommended a rheumatologist take a look out our gout prone feet. We admit to being reluctant. More doctors mean more appointments, filling out more forms which we already filled out, sitting in the waiting room, sitting in an exam room, giving a nurse our info, waiting more, giving the doctor the same info, prescriptions, follow ups, prescription adjustments, and on and on. 

Jersey Beat, Campaign 2025 update: Democrat Mikie Sherrill's campaign is not going well. We know this because we hardly see evidence of a campaign. Where are the yard signs? Where are the YouTube ads? Right now energy prices are the big issue in New Jersey, as reported here by The New Jersey Monitor. That's the Democrats. That's Sherrill. That's a problem for Sherrill. 

What Will's listening to: don't site us, Heavy Metal Police. But of late we've been enjoying this Huey Lewis classic, Jacob's Ladder. This is partly Gen-X nostalgia, 1987 was a very, very good year in our childhood. But Jacob's Ladder is also a solid, inspirational song. 'Step by step, one by one. Higher and higher Step by step, rung by rung. Climbing Jacob's ladder....' Jacob's Ladder could be a Journey song.
