On May 23, flew Delta, Denver to Salt Lake, then to San Francisco, on 2nd leg, DL 1303, sat next to Black Lady, who was in the aisle seat, middle aged, overweight. She seemed quite nervous before take-off, as we did, she began hyperventilating violently, so much so, I was afraid she was going to pass-out or even die. I asked, if she wanted to hold my hand, she clutched her right in my left, throughout. Soon, a girl was crouching next to her, speaking softly, soothingly, holding her left hand, the lady quickly began breathing almost normally, I thought, from her professionalism, a nurse, it was a Delta Flight Attendant, flying to her home-base, San Francisco. This continued, until ...we've landed... the lady's angel, Daisy Santiago

Minneapolis-St. Paul, real fine, art museums, and saw Twins play White Sox, won yet again, to Denver, Clyfford Still Museum next to Denver's, both great-stuff, like it all, preference, Impressionists and Modern, saw their History, like all museums, saw Rockies play Diamondbacks and Madison Bumgarner, best World Series Pitcher ever, that Hillbilly. My brother, Bob, has belonged to the Cleveland Museum of Art, for 40 years, I wouldn't think it, sort of, a beer and a shot type-guy, a girlfriend got him interested

Art Institute of Chicago, one of my favorites. Went to White Sox Ticket Windows, 2 hours before sold-out game with Royals, tickets always coming-back prior, not this time, 10 minutes before, a ticket materialized, Irish Dan, was very kind to me, throughout. In the 9th, with 2 Outs, Jose Abreu, came home on a pitch in the dirt, to make it 4-3, the Sox only lead of the day, or was it, the Royals hotly that Jose was tagged-out, I thought he made it, while awaiting video-results, they played ...Tell me something good...

The Indians beat the Cubs 2-1 in the 10th, love their huge Scoreboard. Saw my big brother, Bob and my younger brother, Tom, always had a lot of friends, and could dig up a girl, easily. When Bob was a College Freshman, he dated Geri Wallace, ha, who was in 9th Grade, a good-looking redhead, a cheerleader. Later, they rediscovered, Bob saw her for years, then he didn't mention her, we live in different parts of the Country, I thought they stopped seeing each other, I asked about her, Bob said that Geri, in her mid-forties, developed Ovarian Cancer she died in my arms
