Leading Off



Hi. We hope this episode finds you well – in good health and good spirits.



The “will they or won’t they” of baseball is getting getting worse than Sam and Dianne. For the younger crowd, I meant Jim and Pam. For a younger crowd than that, we’re too unhip to relate. Use of the word “unhip” was a major clue.
