MLB 2025 TEAM PAYROLLS

 Today's USA TODAY posted team payrolls. Number one was the New York Mets at $323,099,999! Second the Los Angeles Dodgers at $321,287,291 and third New York Yankees at $293,488,972. Our beloved Boson Red Sox came in at   $192,629,093 placing 12th. Last place at 30th is Miami Marlins $67,412,629. Today was a great day for the Red Sox defeating the Baltimore Orioles 8-4. Tomorrow will be Opening Day in Boston against the St. Louis Cardinals which can be viewed at NESN, or will you be attending the game at Fenway Park?  The global reaction to Trump's tariffs reveals how important things may be or become? Gold was bid at $3,085.60 per ounce. Tomorrow, I plan on going to the Legion and will order a Cheeseburger Deluxe.

UPBEAT WEDNESDAY

 Today was upbeat for me! I watched the President's explanation of all the things that will happen at midnight. My deepest convictions are to watch the price of Gold! Will the International markets move the price upwards remain the same or slip? Earlier today the price of gold was bid at $3,160.10.  Tonight, it was watching the Red Sox prevail over the Orioles 3-0. R. Devers had 2 hits and wore a big smile. The Sox play an afternoon game in Baltimore tomorrow returning on Friday for Opening Day against St. Louis Cardinals.   Tomorrow, I will fetch my mail at 01585 and weigh myself. Earlier in the day Josh returned clean laundry which was put away. I like the way all things turned out. Weatherwise it's cold 37 degrees and cloudy.

APRIL FOOL TUESDAY

The highlight of my Tuesday just came with a visit of my granddaughter Evie Potvin.  She and I were all smiles as she sat at my desk and computer. It has been "years" since Evie came by.  In my usual fashion Evie was given with a $50 bill. When asked "what's your favorite subject Evie replied "Math." Earlier in the day it was Hannaford NB where I had some fun playing an April Fool pranks I would say "Your shoelaces are untied!" They looked down then I said, "April Fool!" Most folks looked puzzled then I said, "April Fool!" The total came to $113.18 with a Senior Discount of $.5.90. I did see Carol Slater loading her car from a distance!  Son Josh came by to pick up my trash and "Dirty" laundry. The price of gold today was bid at $3,164.90. Weatherwise it will be very cold the next few days with possible frost in the AM. "Forward ever... backwards never!"
