July 7-12

There are times when it barely pays to come online and blog, the last few days were perhaps the classic example. There was no baseball anywhere, the Barnstormers were in Somerset County, New Jersey and the York Revs were in Texas for a series in Sugar Land. The only real note from the weekend was on Saturday, instead of a lunch visit in Quarryville Jenny, her mother and I did an early supper. At 5:00 we went to the local fairgrounds, the area community association was holding its annual (and somewhat belated) 4th of July celebration. Several merchants had displays set up and there were some rides for the kids, the evening wrapped up after dark with a fireworks show. We were long since gone by then, we were there just long enough to walk around, get some exercise and make it worthwhile. It was just something to do and an opportunity to get out of the house. On Monday the new week started as it usually does with lunch at the mall, on Tuesday Jenny was in town and we did lunch at the plaza. Most of pro baseball is in the respective league's all-star breaks, the big-league game was on TV from San Diego on Tuesday night. The Atlantic League's All-Star confab is on Wednesday night in Lancaster, I plan to be there if the weather is kind (there are thunderstorms in the forecast for the afternoon hours but you can never be sure). Take care, thanks for reading.
