Mother's Day is April 25 for me

Ever since my mother passed away in 2011, I have acknowledged April 25th as "mothers day." I miss her every day. 

A rally cap is a baseball cap worn inside-out and backwards or in some other unconventional manner by players and/or fans to will a team to a come-from-behind victory late in a game. The rally cap is primarily a baseball superstition but has been adopted in various forms in other sports such as hockey.

the game of ball is glorious...

In our sun-down perambulations, of late, through the outer parts of Brooklyn, we have observed several parties of youngsters playing "base", a certain game of ball ... Let us go forth awhile, and get better air in our lungs. Let us leave our close rooms ... the game of ball is glorious.
Walt Whitman - Comments on baseball in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle (23 July 1846)

My Rex Manning day was ....

What a day... wake up, baseball and a win, streetcar ride, visit a friend to tell him I miss him and wish he would call more often, Found inspiration at the library, more streetcar rides, saw the first openly gay city Oklahoma City councilman sworn into office, rode a lime through OKC, more streetcar rides. Had some redfish Pontchartrain,  did a slow bike cruise through downtown OKC.  More streetcar, called my dad to tell him I loved him and hope he is well. Meditate in the myriad gardens and thought of my mother.  Now I am packed up and ready to go home.
