Eve leaves in the morning. By morning, I mean we're leaving for the airport at 4:a. I'm really going to miss her. I've been crying for a week over this & today is  no different. It's been very difficult for me because this whole last week, he boyfriend stole her away from us & had her up in the next town so he could spend the final week with her, leaving us without her. :( Very selfish & wrong of him if you ask me. She has  to go though. There's just no real opportunity here that she can find in over a year. Hopefully she'll be able to find a job out in Myrtle Beach & go to the college  there. I just wish it wasn't so far away. I hope she knows how very much she'll be missed by all of us!

Kyle started his job yesterday & made $50 for just 1 day's work. He also got introduced to someone else who needs work done, so he'll be very busy.

Dennis Martinez pitches perfect game (1991):

On this day in 1991, Dennis Martinez of the Montreal Expos pitches a perfect game to lead his team to a 2-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Martinez was the first Latino ever to pitch a perfect game.

When he debuted with the Baltimore Orioles in 1976 at age 21, Martinez, nicknamed "El Presidente," became the first-ever Nicaraguan player to make the major leagues. He made both starting and relief appearances in his first two seasons with the club, and in 1978, earned a permanent spot in the O’s starting rotation alongside Hall of Famer Jim Palmer and Cy Young Award winner Mike Flanagan. He went 16-11 in his first year as a starter with a 3.52 ERA and tossed 15 complete games. The next year, he led the major leagues with 18 complete games and 292 1/3 innings pitched. His efforts helped the Orioles win the 1979 American League pennant, though they lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates in that year’s World Series.

In 1983, the Orioles again won the American League, and this time the World Series, but Martinez, suffering from an erosion of his pitching talent due to alcoholism, had the worst year of his career, with a 7-16 record and a 5.53 ERA. The Orioles turned to more effective pitchers in the playoffs, and he sat the bench throughout the post-season. In 1986, in the midst of a fourth mediocre season, the O’s traded Martinez to Montreal for a player to be named later. After having to tryout for the team in 1987 on a minor league contract, Martinez bounced back in his first year in the National League with the Expos, and went on to start more than 30 games every year for eight years and rack up a winning record in seven of his eight seasons in Montreal.

When the 36-year old Martinez took the mound on July 28, 1991, he faced a Dodgers team led by veteran pitcher Mike Morgan, who threw a perfect game through five innings. For his part, Martinez cruised through the game until the sixth inning when second baseman Delino Deshields nearly committed an error, throwing low to first baseman Larry Walker. Walker somehow managed to keep contact with the bag, keeping the perfect game alive. In the seventh, the Expos scored their first runs in 30 innings, taking advantage of two errors by Dodger shortstop Alfredo Griffin and a triple by Walker. With two outs in the ninth and the Expos leading 2-0, the Los Angeles crowd rose to their feet, hoping to see the 15th perfect game in major league history and the first in Los Angeles since Sandy Koufax’s on September 9, 1965. Dodger Chris Gwynn hit a pop fly to center field for the last out, and Martinez was mobbed by celebrating teammates at the mound.

1991 turned out to be El Presidente’s best year as an Expo: He led the National League with nine complete games, five shutouts and a 2.39 ERA, in addition to his perfect game.

Martinez retired during the 1998 season after 22 years in the bigs with a solid 245-193 career record and a 3.70 ERA.

Dig a hole in the ground & line with a plastic bag. Presto! A dishpan. (Remember to remove the bag & fill the hole up with dirt again when you leave camp.)

Dumping on flight attendants is discourteous & should be avoided. Keep your requests reasonable & say "please" & "thank you;" flight attendants are not servants. Treating them decently also means they'll be more willing to help you out if you need a favor.

If you're going to leave the money alone for 5 years or more, I'd definitely put it into mutual funds. I'd split it between growth, growth & income, international & a little bit of aggressive growth. You might even mix in a few index funds. A decent mutual fund can pay you an average return of about 12%. Not necessarily in a 1- or 2-year period, but over a longer period, they're a great investment tool.

Last of the Dogmen:

When Montana bounty hunter Lewis Gates (Tom Berenger) is hired to track three escaped convicts in the wilderness, he uncovers an arrow shaft that leads to a century-old secret. He then enlists the help of Native American history professor Lillian Sloan (Barbara Hershey). She reluctantly accompanies him on a search for a surviving Cheyenne tribe from the 1864 Sand Creek Massacre -- even though she doubts it exists.

Precatory:

Expressing a wish.

Mr. Tyler's will included a precatory provision that his grand piano be restored & donated to a music school.

You're most likely to see this word used in legal contexts to distinguish statements that merely express a wish from those that create a legal obligation. Outside of jurisprudence, you might see references to "precatory dress codes" or " precatory stockholder proposals" - all of which are nonbinding. "Precatory" traces to Latin precari ("to pray"), & it has always referred to something in the nature of an entreaty or supplication. For example, a precatory hymn is one that beseeches "from sin & sorrow set us free."
