Robert, I see you had fun with this. Good sports can exist throughout the ages. Perhaps that means there's a glimmer of hope for us? Imagine listening to and obeying the judge. There's a very interesting comparison here to what we're seeing today in our political world and the interaction between branches of government.

Bruce Springsteen just made the same point as you in his London concert. Trump's response "The man never had any talent" I trust that 'The Boss' you and I are on the same team. Play ball! My best Robert

They look similar don't they though. Not a goy, but surely a joy! Whoa ;o

The resemblance is surely uncanny right? Just 100 years of separation, yet they could be bros! Bestie, Robert

Hadn't noticed the similarity before. --- Do you think Lou might have gotten to 'first base' with Kamala? lol. ~ Joe Pepitone

My husband is from New Jersey and grew up a big Yankee fan too! :) Thanks for sharing a little bit of yourself, Robert!
