    This might be posted on time or perhaps a day or
    two late, depending on what's going on in life.
    Lilli will have come down to make life complicated
    for Swisher and me, and I may thereafter be just as
    noisy as ever, or not, depending. In any case, in
    the packet after this one, you can expect more
    reports of the deliciousness of ballparks and the
    memorable sights of local restaurants.

    Meanwhile, why didn't Dale's suggested "what I had
    to eat" thread take off? That's pretty much my
    favorite subject among the possibilities, and I
    hadn't suspected you all were so different from me.
    Or are your meals too dull to mention, which would
    be very sad indeed (I had a friend who sent me a
    note, pre-Internet, about the monotony of her daily
    life, and needing relief, but though that sort of
    tugged at my heartstrings there was little I could
    do, as she was living far away from me those days,
    and my finances were kind of precarious).

    Also: here's some food for thought, and beware flying
    glass (reminds me of a college classmate who would
    describe her parents' fighting and throwing so much
    china and glassware that regular trips to the store
    were necessary): finally they've figured to address
    an issue that I've been fussing about for a mumber of
    years. It looks like the solution is not to trust this
    stuff unless it's been in your family for generations: https://gizmodo.com/the-pyrex-glass-controversy-that-just-wont-die-1833040962 which might put a crimp in the company's expansionary
    plans (sort of like Boeing, I guess).
