Bringing the Heat

by Jimmy Johnson


It’s that time of year again, that time we talk about how pleasant an outdoor fireplace would be while we search for something to watch on Netflix. As I think I have told you before, this little series is based on “a semi-true story.” I intend to run subsequent episodes over the next few days, or if you have no self control you can go to the GoComics.com archive for November, 2002. “Bringing the heat” is, of course, baseball jargon for a really effective fastball. Or that’s the way it’s been. Now, it might mean something else. The World Series began this week in Los Angeles, where recent temperatures have topped 100 degrees. I’ll bet the players are glad they don’t wear those wool uniforms anymore.

    Going this morning to see oncologist to Get chemo plan and schedule, post up schedule with breast surgeon and referral for physical therapy for lost use and range motion left arm, start that. I still think La Quinta beats getting an apartment here when getting treatments rather than driving daily back and forth.

    Ghost and I are going for free sushi day at P.F. Changs early when they open, then tonight to Abuelos for prime rib Thursday. We have never eaten the prime rib because they only do it one night starting at 4 p.m. And always sell out by time we get there. We are going at 4 p.m. Today!

    Ghost can tell you what we are celebrating but it is a special day for him. I agree and someday we will celebrate mine as well.
