Thanks for doing what you do, Lee. I love your writing and appreciate your humorous and often curmudgeonly takes both in your cartoons and prose. (If I don’t laugh about life, I’ll cry...) I couldn’t allow myself to continue enjoying your craft without becoming a paid subscriber! I’m honored to be able to support in some small way. Keep it up. I’m reading, enjoying, and sharing. 🙂

Thanks, Jay. I never meant to become a curmudgeon but I think that's what happens to young smartasses who live too long. And thanks for being a paid subscriber, I appreciate the support.

This column reminds me of a Howard Cosell quote (or a comedian doing his Howard Cosell impersonation). “That woman’s stretch pants……have no other choice”.

Sounds like me when I try to put on a pair of pants I wore in the 1990s.

Just because they make it in your size, doesn’t mean you should wear it.

On the other hand, there are men who apparently think they look good with their shirts off and decide to share what they've got with the public. I'm torn between thinking they don't own a mirror and admiring their willingness to show the rest of us they don't give a shit.

Not only did you not lose me at the yoga pants junction, but the Manager’s number tidbit is gonna make me re-up.

Then this will make you sign up for two more years: Latin pitchers tend to finish their pitching motion turned sideways to home plate which means they're in poor fielding position, but they do that because a lot of Latin kids don't grow up wearing cup protectors and don't want to get hit in the nuts by a line drive.

When I was covering baseball I loved learning about all this stuff the rest of don't think about. And now you have something to share next time you're watching a ballgame with somebody.

Who doesn’t love an obscure random nuts story?

I loath yard care and question the sanity of anybody that claims they love mowing their yard. The best money I EVER spent was buying one of those robot lawn mowers. I haven’t pushed one in years and the lawn ALWAYS looks freshly mowed! Neighbors will stop sometimes and gawk at is as they walk by but so far not a one of them has bought one for their yard, more fool they.

Sounds like a brilliant idea until Skynet turns the robots against us. I keep thinking these AI people need to watch more Terminator movies.
