My first game of 2025… ⁦⁦Columbus Clippers⁩ vs ⁦Iowa Cubs⁩. Clips hit FIVE homers in their 10-run 3rd. Wind blowing out turned 3 fly balls into dingers. Two loooong jacks.

I teach an online summer class, and I have a student named Gary Wright. It's a good thing the course is remote. If it was in person, he would be serenaded with a few lines of "Dream Weaver" every day at roll call. Every day.

I think this Western Civ student knows I’m a baseball fan. I’ve never thought of Martin Luther in the same category as Bobby Thomson, Bill Mazeroski, or Joe Carter… but perhaps now I will.

In my #WWI class Ohio Northern Univ., students selected a veteran from their hometowns and wrote up a feature for the local newspaper. Four and counting got published... Thanks Delaware Gazette, The Marion Star Mercer Co Outlook.
