Posted 5-21-20 Hi all! Another day in paradise. (lol) I trust all of you are holding on. Please know that I pray for our group as a whole and many individually. These were challenging times before this little big thing came through and killed 92,000, many of whom are our folks. Keep your head up!…

Keeping Score

Posted on April 26, 2019April 26, 2019 by Mark Applegate

Posted 4-26-19 My dad and I went to see the Springfield Cardinals game last night. The Cardinals, the AA minor league team for the great St. Louis Cardinals franchise, didn’t disappoint in an 8-0 drubbing of the Amarillo Sod Poodles. (BTW…a “sod poodle” seems to be some sort of a nickname for a prairie dog)….

Opening Day

Posted on April 11, 2019April 11, 2019 by Mark Applegate

Posted 4-11-19 Today, April 11th, marks the home opener for the Springfield Cardinals minor league baseball team. This year’s lovable birds enter their home debut with a less than lovable 0-7 record, making me wonder what the “magic” number is (already) for them to be mathematically eliminated in the first half of the two-part season….

Posted 5/29/20 I am still on vacay, all. 🙂 Please take this opportunity and look at the old articles from the site. Things have changed, in some ways for the better and some the worse over the last 1.5 years. I will see you all Monday, with a fresh loaf. #EndALZ The post Shawshank Re:Dementia […]
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 76: Vacation May 27, 2020
Posted on vacation 🙂 5/27/20 I am not here today through Friday. I am on semi-vacation from work and, while this blog isn’t work per se, it is good for me to take a few days off to refresh my melon. Please swing back to some old posts these next couple of days and comment... […]
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 75: My Personal Little Nightmare May 26, 2020
Day 2 of saying that I am on vacation and will be doing reruns this week. 😉 So much for that… Just a quick thought…more of a question really, I suppose. I have had a recurring nightmare for about 20 years now. It isn’t every day. It may be a monthly thing or after I... […]
Shawshank Re:Dementia Day 74: Memorial Day May 25, 2020
Posted 5/25/20 Happy Memorial/Decoration Day, to all! I know I said I was taking the week off this week, but I lied. 🙂 (Diverting/changing the subject like a good caregiver should…) Memorial day is a day perhaps first recognized in South Carolina as a day of remembrance of the Civil War. Earliest records point to... […]

Posted 5/20/20 I am a big fan of Dr. Seuss. I know that I have really only alluded to this fact in one piece, but I the fact remains that he is an absolute favorite. One of my very favorites was this gem that we read the kids frequently when they were wee: What is... […]

Posted 5/18/20 Monday has arrived and I am at least as excited to see it as I was to see frost warnings after I planted my tomatoes. Regardless, if life gives you lemons, make some lemonade. If life gives you kale, though, you are on your own. 😉 My attempt at Kaleade wasn’t sweet enough... […]
