New York Times July 17, 1969

 The astronauts are off!

In New York, everyone watched the astronauts take off, then went back to watching the Mets.
As a fan of the old Pepsi privilege signs, I really enjoyed this photo. I wish they said where it was taken.
This was a very nice surprise. P.G. Wodehouse is my all-time favorite author, so finding an interview with him was a real treat. In other news, there may or may not be a big concert in the Woodstock, NY area in about a month.
The Mets take another one in Wrigley, creeping closer to the Cubs. Meanwhile, the lifeless Yankees lost another game. (Both yesterday and on this July 1969 date. Who would win a game between the '69 Yankees and '22 Yankees? Maybe nobody?)
Finally, a chance to talk hitting with the legendary Ted Williams.

    I love Wodehouse too! Last week in my speech club we were supposed to bring an object to show as a way to introduce ourselves - I brought my 1937 Wills Cigarettes Famous British Authors card of Wodehouse to represent my dual obsessions of cards & books.

    Hey, it was my birthday! This looks like a good one too. Though, I am slightly ashamed to admit that I had never even heard of P.G. Wodehouse before.
