  1. Notice the large black man give the white man props and cred for making that HOT catch. Gave him a COVID high five. That doesn’t fit the narrative now does it? Oh well … that large black man must be an “Uncle Tim”

    1. Yeah, I noticed that too, Kenji. Oh! Wait! I guess that makes me racist, right?

      COVID high five, indeed. I must say, I like seeing fans in the stands again, even though some wear masks. I was so happy to see so many maskless people at Churchill Downs on Saturday. But, like I said to my husband, just wait, in two weeks the bodies will be piling up in Louisville and the rest of Kentucky. (sarc off.)

  2. My canine step-brother has a habit of jumping up at a closed door that he wants to go through with the hope of opening it. He does that when he’s brought to my house in B. C. and when he’s about to return to the family that adopted him.

    The last time he was at the house, he did that when his “mommy” came to the door. I managed to catch him in mid-leap with one hand, something which surprised all of us.

  3. I was at a hockey game a couple of years ago. The puck was coming straight for my head, however I was turned to the side talking to another guy. The guy beside me, an old referee, caught the damned thing about 18 inches from my right ear.

    I owe him big time!!

    1. Your story reminds me of a wedding I was attended nearly 30 years ago.

      The reception continued to the point at which it was time to toss the bride’s garter. When it became airborne, it seemed to be heading in my direction. Fortunately, some other chap caught it before it reached me, and I thought, “Better him than me.”

  4. One day when I finished drinking some tea Mum told me to pitch the empty cup to her as she headed to the sink to wash dishes. Without thinking about the fact that it could shatter I did as told and lo and behold Mum caught it in mid air like an expert. Haha! We almost fainted, laughing our heads off.

  5. Hubby and I were watching batting practice at a Jays game, standing deep along the third-base foul line. He had his arm around my shoulders and, before I knew what was happening, he just lifted his arm and reached out to catch a ball headed our way. It seemed like he barely moved a muscle. I thought it was pretty cool. He got Jason Grilli to sign it.
