After all, I once  hit almost .300 for Fulton Playground in the San Francisco Park and Rec league. OK — almost .250.

    There are a few things I’ve been meaning to talk to you about, and honestly I can’t remember them. I’m very happy to tell you that they are all hidden on scraps of paper on my desk, in a pile that has now risen to the point of imminent collapse.
