The great 1968 play at the plate 1
Passed by a Spokane ball field and one of the kids there reminded me of my junior high friend, Ron Catallo. Ron was bright and funny. He was one of Michigan's most animated second-guessers of Detroit Tigers manager Mayo Smith. And as boys that age…

TZ marathon all day on Syfy on July 4th 1
Plan accordingly.
The headline on Saturday's Slice column 1
Was written by Geoff Pinnock. Here (below) is what he used for inspiration. I wonder if you can guess what the column is about. www.musicwn.com
We need a pie chart 5
Some segment of the Spokane area's population loves mega-gatherings in downtown. Another portion would not go anywhere near Bloomsday, Hoopfest or Pig Out even if you prodded them with a pitch-fork. Then there are the people in between. If you had to assign percentages, what…
This date in Slice history (1997)
(Here are a few snippets from a bonus Slice that ran in the sports section. It was dedicated, top to bottom, to Hoopfest coverage.) Out of the way or you'll get vaporized: In places, the sidewalks were so crowded it was hard to move. But…

Just wondering
When it came to storing night crawlers until you went fishing the next morning, did you have a brand preference re: empty coffee cans? www.coffeedetective.com
When real life resembles a movie scene 1
Once I was outside the San Marco Apartments on Riverside when a young woman on the second floor was chucking clothes out a window while screaming rebukes at a young man standing out on the sidewalk. I don't recall the exact articles of indictment. But…

Do you remember Milt Priggee?
He was the S-R's editorial cartoonist back in the Chris Peck era. www.pacificnorthwestartschool.org
Summing up the horse opera 1
This Time cover is from 1959. If you were going to add a second line to "The American Morality Play," what would it say? www.readingthewest.org
Coming in Friday's Slice column
The truth about genealogy.
If this was a Spokane tourism promo... 2
What would the text say? www.borg.com
Autographs I obtained as a kid include... 1
One from this fellow, the third of the famed Alou brothers. This isn't my card. Jesus signed a ball for me at long-gone Crosley Field in Cincinnati. I have no recollection of saying his name or how I might have pronounced it. Chances are, he…
If the Borg showed up at your picnic 3
What would you do or say? www.ctv.ca
Pizza for breakfast: Yes or no? 3
After asking what readers have for breakfast that many might find strange as start-the-day food, I got emails from a couple of local people who said they sometimes have leftover pizza. I assumed everyone had done that. But maybe I am wrong. So I wonder…
On a happier note
Fifty years ago today, The Drifters recorded "Up on the Roof," a terrific song written by the brilliant Carole King and her husband.
Rod Serling died on this date in 1975 1
He was 50. If you smoke, don't stop trying to quit. www.jdmfilmreviews.com
Just wondering 1
Do you know anyone who attended the Universal Life Church "picnic" at Farragut State Park over the Fourth of July weekend in 1971?
Most of us survived sparklers
But you have to assume that had a lot to do with luck. www.scienceprojectideasforkids.com These things (below) were safer. Though certain dads were known to take exception to the unsightly burn marks that snakes left on the driveway. www.cagepotato.com
