Random Thoughts of the Day - April 24, 2024

• Watching the TV news every day is depressing.  I watch both national and local newscasts.  The situation in the Middle East is tragic.  I support Israel, but the deaths of civilians in Gaza sadden me.  The protests at college campuses today remind me of those opposing the Vietnam War when I was a student in the late 1960s.
• I wish I didn't have such a good autobiographical memory.  I often have flashbacks to unpleasant experiences of the distant past as I often second-guess myself.  I can't change what happened in the past.
• This Journal is approaching 5000 entries since October 2005. It is a vanity press for me.
• I am working on a newsletter for the Casey Stengel Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research.
