Two sports you officially can't play outside now

  We're getting our first snow of the season today. The good news is November is almost over before we saw snow, which is pretty unusual. The bad news is it's lake-effect snow, on the holiday, and why couldn't it have snowed on Nov. 15th when no one was visiting anything? But we'll get over it, we always do.

I've been sorting through it ever since and I'm still not done with the baseball part. I am finished with the non-baseball stuff, so let's go with that in Part 1. John very nicely sent me a full set of 2021 Topps Chrome Tennis. I have mentioned a time or two that I'm inte...
