SPOILER ALERT
If you have not read Quiz #80. “Waiting” just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen?
A. Will went to visit college friends last weekend and has quarantined all week in his basement apartment with a refrigerator and shower. When he came home, I was happy to have him settle a dispute which Sara and I had while he was away. Was it a breakout of measles or mumps which had hit Syracuse University in his Junior year? He texted, “Mumps.” (I was right.);
B. Betsy’s dogs, Fred and Brownie, made their first trip back to our house this weekend. When Betsy had taught 4th grade and they still had class-room instruction inside the school in our town, Betsy would drop off Fred and Brownie for doggie-daycare. That all ended in March, but this weekend, Betsy took a trip with Annie to visit life-long friend Amanda so Sara and I watched her dogs;
C. College friend Brooks emailed this week with this assessment of the baseball season,
Ok. A few weeks in and I’m loving it. No fans in the stadiums does not bother me at all. Not enthusiastic about the cardboard cutouts in some stadiums, but the fake game noise does not bother me at all. It’s a weird season no doubt, but why not try it? It is largely working. Am I missing something here?
D. On Saturday, August 15th, I got word from the Phillies on the location for my cardboard cutout at CItizens Bank Park. I am seated in Section 232, on the third base side. Row 32, Seat 28;
E. Since the start of the pandemic, I’ve had a slight tremor in my left hand. It started with my pinkie and moved to my index finger. I went to the doctor this week on Wednesday, August 12th, to see if she could tell me what was wrong? Stress? Too much coffee? Pinched nerve? Too much typing on the laptop? Something worse? They’re doing tests--and we’re waiting.
I sent in my order for a cardboard cutout 3 weeks ago. I have not yet seen it on any broadcasts and am hoping that at some point the Phillies will let me know where “I” am sitting. Again, I am waiting.
