Quick look at an up and coming left-handed arm in the 2028 class of TN.
Sat 84-85 T86 with some crossfire action. Devastating against LHH’s. Broke off a breaking-ball in the 70-71 mph range

I was recently a guest on the Nano Cruising podcast, a show about small boat voyages. We discuss my rowboat adventure on the Mississippi River (including some very personal mental health challenges) and the resulting book, Crooked Old River.

Learning all your curves,
Turning all the boys,
Into hummingbirds.”

Summary: When Trapper Haskins and his wife were young newlyweds, they built a wooden rowboat with the intention of traveling down the Mississippi River, from northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. The trip was supposed to take ninety days. It took sixteen years.
Thanks for the kind words, Leo 🙏🏻

My 16 y.o. daughter used my workbench to make candles today. Not only does my woodshop now smell like potpourri, I discovered she used my dovetail saw to cut the block of wax. That girl is lucky I love her! 😆
I don’t study economics, but after cancelling a few subscriptions yesterday I had to wonder: what percentage of the U.S. economy is dependent on this model? Television and music streaming, smartphone apps, online counseling, even mail-order coffee—all of it rented by the month.
