The most recent Grandstander post was made fourteen days ago, May 5, and since that time, the following events have taken place.
- We have a new Pope, Leo XIV, and he's an American and was christened the same as The Grandstander: Robert Francis.
- The Pirates fired Derek Shelton.
- The Steelers traded George Pickens to the Cowboys.
- Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson (and a few others that no one cares about) got amnesty from Major League Baseball.
- A Broadway luminary, Charles Strouse, has died.
- The Pirates continue to lose games at both astounding and stultifying paces.
- Aaron Rodgers remains unsigned.
I know that all many maybe a few of you out there have been wondering "why in Hell isn't The Grandstander giving us his opinions on these weighty matters? WHAT GIVES?"
Let me give you a hint:
On My 6, Linda and I embarked upon a thirteen day cruise of Canada and the Eastern Seaboard, Montreal to New York City, aboard the Viking Neptune. It was a thirteen day journey where we made wonderful memories and made new friends. while seeing some wonderful places in North America.
I will share some details and photos of that great adventure in later posts.
I will also be adding my $.02 on some of the items listed in the bullets above,
I'm back!
Kickin' back!
