The NY Yankee’s Aaron Judge hit his historic 62nd Home Run last night breaking Roger Maris’s record of 61 Home Runs in a single season set back in 1961. Before that, the record was held by Babe Ruth, who hit 60 HR’s in 1927. As I mentioned, Judge plays for the Yankees… as did Ruth and Maris when they set their records.

- Apparently the 63 Home Runs I hit during a single season of Junior High baseball doesn’t count. All I got was a stupid “Participation Trophy”.

Three scientists have been awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry for their collective work that produced what the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences calls “An ingenious tool for building molecules”.

- So go ahead. Make him an offer he can’t refuse.

The total number of Americans who used Google to search for “Excuses to Miss Work” soared from 355,890 in 2018 to almost 4 MILLION in 2022 — a ten-fold increase.

- With 25% of Americans still working from home… they’re basically calling their boss from their bedroom to say their too sick to make it to the living room??

America is officially facing a butter shortage right before the holiday season.

- The politicians are handling the crisis differently. Biden is blaming the Butter Shortage on Putin, Bernie Sanders says “Free Butter is Guaranteed by the Constitution”, and Trump has already made hats that read: “Make Margarine Great Again”.

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Thursday!
