I could not open either .I assume the stadium will be filled to capacity tonight. The very first baseball game I ever went to was in Yankee Stadium in 1962.

I gave up watching after 2 minutes.

Those were the days when I was young,healthy and adventurous and did not have any alcohol restrictions.

7 days in 1973 to celebrate my birthday .Round trip NY to Hamilton Bermuda on the Cunard Ambassador.

I do not think so.If you are at the front of the cruise port and cross the street-walk 1/2 block East there was the bar that had an upstairs and a downstairs.The upstairs was sort of open and it was non stop music. Somewhere in my house I have a coaster that I took home as a souvenir. I think that Hogs Penny was in the middle of the street

Our favorite as well.We have been there many times .The overnights in Hamilton are great .In our younger days we would go to a club across the street from where the ship was docked and listen to music .

Thank you very much,Bonnie

Eventually I will need hearing aids as my hearing is not that good .I will keep that in mind.

As I have posted before,when my father came to the US in 1913 he was a Soccer player and played in the Immigrant Soccer League in NY.Players were from many different European countries and all spoke their native language.My father learned bits of several.He was also working in a factory where most of the employees were Italian and eventually became fluent in several languages.His best friend ,my godfather was Italian and I learned a lot about Italy at a very young age.

My first cruise was in 1973 to Bermuda.I fell in love with the island.At that time all the ships went to Hamilton.There was no such thing as shore excursions .We walked a lot ,of course we were young and healthy.

I cannot recall when that started but in the old days WPIX televised all Yankee games including playoffs.

I have never been to Italy but when I had the 25 year job nearly every person working there was born in Italy and would tell me about where they grew up and it was almost like me being there.Plus every time they went back on vacations they sent me postcards and I have about 300 that I often look at.

I saw that movie when it came out in 1969.That title has been quoted so many times since.

I have tremors with both hands.I have to hold a cup or a glass with both hands.Holding a cordless phone while conversing is not to easy .I use the Speaker function at times but I do not really care for that .Therefore,most of the conversations that I used to have by phone are currently texting or e-mail but my hands tend to shake to the point of having to re-write.

I have been going to a Pain Management doctor since 2018,a wonderful person .His wife is an Acupuncturist.I had 9 sessions with her ,9 epidurals with him,2 experimental surgeries with one of his associates to the point of him telling me there is nothing more that he can do.I have also discussed other options with him that other doctors suggested.

I picked Cleveland in 5 ,primarily because I had a cousin who played for Cleveland in the 50’s or possibly the 40’s .

The doctor ended things by walking down the hall and opening the door for us to go to the checkout desk. My pain began in 2009 in the lower back.I had spine surgery in April 2010 I have had 37 falls adding pain to my body.Currently my pain is in my entire back ,both legs and feet.I have a burning sensation constantly in my toes I have constant numbness in both feet at the same time and a sensation of falling.I have had 9 epidurals ,the last two did not work,two experimental surgical procedures ,acupuncture and I have been to 12 physical therapists.My most recent PT was earlier this year from a wonderful guy who was born in Israel,studied PT in Israel and Holland as well as the US . He tried his very best but could not help me.I have been to numerous Neurologists,Neurosurgeons and Orthopedic Surgeons. The only place I can be without pain in on my bed where I am when I post on CC.I really feel bad for Toby because she spends so much time taking care of me instead of going out and enjoying things. Last night she played mah jong and one of my daughters stayed here with me.

He may pitch till he is 45

Thanks,MJ .I have been previously referred to a Stony Brook doctor.It is too far for me.I live in Nassau County.It is difficult for me to be in a car for more than an hour. The doctor yesterday was in Great Neck, Earlier today I found out that a woman who I knew in HS died from Alzheimer’s .I last saw her at the HS 40th.reunion .I had no idea that she was ill Yes,I was disappointed that the Mets were eliminated .

I am happy that the Rangers won .

Yesterday afternoon I saw my next house neighbor who is a Yankee fan.I asked him who was going to win last night.Instead he asked me and I said Cleveland .He laughed and said “Lenny,please do not watch the game because you will jinx thevYankees.” I did not watch it.

Sorry to hear that your mother is in Hospice.One of my neighbors was in Home Hospice and one of my friends was in a facility Hospice ,both families said that the hospice was amazing.

He asked me to draw some very simple objects ,I was unable to do that.He had a drawing of a clock and asked me to draw ten minutes after 11 .I could not do that.He said 3 words and 5 minutes later asked me to repeat them.I was not able to.He had me step up and down with my feet while seated.I could only do it with my left foot.He held my hand and asked me to resist his pushing.I could not do it with either hand. I kept on telling him that I was in excrutiating pain even sitting in his office .He asked if I was depressed and I said that I was.I told him that at home I am screaming nearly all day because of the pain.He just sat there without an expression. I told him that I am depressed because I cannot remember simple things like addition and subtraction ,that I was an athlete when I was young and now I cannot walk more than 3 feet. Today I called a guy who is in my Parkinson’s Support Group ,he recommended one of his doctors.I am going to call one of my nieces who is an MD ,but I cannot do that till Sunday.

Two of my friends called me earlier today hoping that I would have good news to tell them ,alas ,I did not. Thanks,Graham
