Favorite line from the song in my head when I woke up: Isn’t anyone tryin’ to find me?

Baseball Tunes: The drive to the baseball game yesterday was done to songs from my Chick Singers playlist.

Something I’m looking forward to today: I’ve got a long list of to-dos that I hope to get to-done.

Something I’m looking forward to in the next seven days: Boy The Younger and the choir he’s in are singing Take Me Out to the Ballgame at the Cardinals game on Tuesday night.

Something I’m grateful for from yesterday: That my baseball team actually played better, though we still lost.

What I’m writing: Yesterday’s Two Crappy Pages involved no writing. That’ll change today.

What I’ve written: Crossing the Streams: How behavioral science enhances automated underwriting
