Are we reliving 1976?

Wow! Positively eerie: I'd forgotten that Donald Rumsfeld was Secretary of Defense in 1976. Truly the more things change, the more they remain the same.

Our Sag Harbor summer softball game held its 30th anniversary dinner the other night in New York City. The entertainment was a good-natured roast featuring jokes about our foibles, mishaps, and legendary incompetence. (Sample slogans: "The game in which you can't possibly be the worst player" and "The most important Long Island softball game launched during the Ford administration.")

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
