no cox and no email/rest day+rip ripulski

quick post in case anyone still reads this. my cox has been down all day. it tells me i have 83 new emails, but if i go to see them it won't let me and logs me out. cox says they are aware of a problem and are working on it.

meanwhile i decided to take a day of rest and recovery as i just could not get to sleep last night an d finally about 1:30 must have dozed off until about 6:30 when gail called. after that i just went out and sat in the garden and read and then hit some chips and pitches. then painted some flower pots and now here i am trying and failing to read my emails.

and finally, today would have been rip ripulski's 80th birthday. 10/4/28. rip was an outfielder for the phillies back around 1957 or 1958 and a little before as i recall. he also gave my dad one of his many phillies frustrations when he hit a grand slam against the braves after we left the game just a little early to beat the traffic as the phils were really way behind. they still lost but scored a lot more runs and we heard it on the radio rather than being back in our seats. may both of them be playing baseball somewhere up there wherever up there is at.

anyway- will be back later. errands to run.
