Thursday, September 29th 2022 It’s 4:00 a.m. and a good time to be awake. Don’t worry about the early rising. I’m not worried about it. I’m actually up early because I’m watching the Yankees Blue Jays game. This is a freebie from MLB Network. Aaron Judge is looking for 61, the Blue Jays are looking… Continue reading

Monday, September 19th 2022 The problem with the successful counter attack is that suddenly you uncover what the occupying enemy has been doing.
