OK, this morning it was a combination of "Wild Horses" and "My Friend the Witch Doctor," sometimes rapidly alternating, sometimes superposed. Lasted for a good five hours.

You win.  I feel very sorry for you.  Have you tried hypnosis?

Every so often a song invades my brain and stays there until another one drives it out.  Recently it was "Ain't We Got Fun".  That was ironic during this lockdown pandemic.  But it has been replaced by "You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby".  I have come to the conclusion that song was written by a very ill pedophile.  "You must have been a beautiful baby...You must have been a beautiful child...Because baby, look at you now."  Who else could look at an attractive adult and wonder what that person looked like as an infant?

Why don't you share your earworms with us?

I seem to remember some song about girls and the summer...

Thanks.  Now I've got the Beach Boys shouting "California Girls" at me.

I'm not sure you want to open this can of worms, as I tend to wake with a different one on a daily basis, with no discernible subconscious logic underlying the choice.

I am older than you and thus have been exposed to many, many, more tunes that rattle around in my head.

If you want me I will be in the backyard playing catch with my grandson.

Be sure to start him at second base if it goes into extra innings.

He is a 13 year old Little League pitcher.  I think that he is destined to be a middle inning reliever because the other teams begin to unload on him after 2 innings. 

Is baseball really coming back?  Are they going to play in parks where the only observers are the ground crew and the radio announcers?

... I've had my first (and likely only) mammogram.

Best wishes.

Thanks. The mass was benign, but at least I've seen both sides now, or something. It was a bit awkward in the waiting room.

Screw the optics.  Breast cancer is not unknown in men.

...in desperate need of a distraction, my wife and I turned on Disney+ and watched "That Darn Cat".

It wasn't terrible.

I forget.  Were Fred and Ginger in that one?

Right now I am watching the ESPN showing of Game 7 of the 2016 World Series.  It is the 8th inning.  I know how the game ended and who won, yet my pulse rate and blood pressure are embarrassingly high.

I hope folks are watching this series.  Michael Jordan comes off as a first class jerk.  Arrogant.  Self-satisfied. Pompous.  And a bad teammate who insulted his teammates.  I had no idea what a schmuck he was/is.

I?ve seen 2 episodes. He seemed alright to me. Does it get worse?

Yep.  Ask Steve Kerr

Thank you Andy for the excellent review of "The Last Dance"  that you published in "Pointless Exercises".  Mrs. CBS and I are saving the entire series along with game 7 of the 2016 World Series.  Thanks to the quarantine I have re-watched Game 7 twice in the last 2 months.  The tenth inning never gets old.
