20250409 - Up in the am and to the desk. I prepped a pork loin for the smoker, L home for lunch and then Hazel and I ran her back to work. Got the loin in the smoker and then back to the desk. I got all the eBay shipments ready and was ready to head out the door to get my errands done when Glass Doctor called and said they were on their way with our new glass. So I couldn't leave... Glass done, L done at school, so went and picked her up, on to the bank to get some cash and drop off eBay stuff at the shipper. Then L&I went to visit Doc where he is staying during rehab. Today was his 86th b-day, they think. Back when he was born in 1939 they didn't go to the hospital, you were born at home. And when the age of IDs and Social Security arrived you had to find someone that wasn't a family member that could vouch for your birth year so you could have a birth certificate made and get a social security card. The person Doc found to vouch for him was his first grade teacher, she was 90 at the time, but remembered that Doc was born the year of the 'high water' = 1939. After our visit L dropped me off at Sport Clips so i could get a haircut, my plan was to be there at 2pm today but the window guys messed that up... I got my hair cut, called L and she was already on the road to G's game so I walked the 1.7 miles home. Home and got the pork loin out of the smoker and it was perfect! Hazel and I had a couple pieces and then I headed to Signature's for bingo. Texting with L and G not playing again... She was furious, I was glad I didn't go... Home and we talked about how G was getting shit on by the same coaches that shit on D and how we hate it so much. G home and let us know that he talked to the coaches after the game, he has talked to them after each of their 3 games, and they gave him the same BS story. He said at one point he stood up and the coach said to him, 'Do you want to continue this conversation?' G said 'No, I quit', shook his hand and walked out. GOOD FOR HIM! So proud of him for standing up for himself and not putting up with the crap that we have seen happen to D and many other boys over the last 11 years! It sucks that the baseball program at the school is so bad. I know G will miss his friends, but we can already tell he feels better.
