What are you doing this weekend?
Growing up, baseball season meant rooting for the Dodgers. Dad went to Ebbetts Field every chance he could to see the Brooklyn team he loved. Our dinner conversation included names like Jackie Robinson, Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider, and Sandy Koufax. This weekend is the premiere of "42" about the life of Jackie Robinson and his historic entrance into the all-white sport of baseball. I may not see it this weekend, but I sure will see it soon!
Every year, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society holds fundraisers to raise money for research, self-help programs, advocacy, professional education, and countless other worthwhile programs. This weekend, my husband and I will be volunteering at WalkMS. As they say, "We come together one day a year to show the power of our connections."
I must become familiar with my new Breville juicer to begin my juicing program finally. Another learning curve for this boomer...
What are you doing this weekend? Whatever you do, make it a good one.
My whole family are major Yankees fans so we will be seeing 42 in the next few days! I hope WalkMS is a huge success -- and so is your experience with the juicer!
Sounds like a great movie. Cathy, I will think of you today when I walk, as you WALK for MS. My assistant coach, a former player, who is only 25-years-old, just found out she has MS. Hopefully research will one day find a cure.
