Fragment, June 18, Joe Torre

Joe Torre, the great former manager of the New York Yankees, was talking to the San Francisco Giants announcers between innings recently at AT&T Park. Torre was raising consciousness about prostate cancer and other social issues. He had mentioned to one of the announcers that in appreciation of his work a charitable organization had recently given him a very rare and expensive bottle of wine. The announcer, joking, asked Torre if he had saved any of it. Torre answered: “Hey, I’ve had cancer. I don’t save anything.”

Or,
maybe why these fragments are going up here instead of staying in my journal.

Or:
“He sold his possessions to outfit a small cabin higher in the mountains, that he might devote the rest of his life to the study of sapsuckers.”
