The Baseball season appears not to be going the way I’d prefer. Many friends probably agree, if they root for the team based in Queens.  

It's the face of today's multi (or mini) millionaire.    This six-year-old South Korean YouTube star named Boram makes an estimated 2.9 million dollars a month reviewing toys. Her two YT channels - a video blog and a series of toy reviews - have more than 30 million subscribers.   She's the highest earning South Korean YouTuber.

A high school friend who is a reader of my Friday With Fred blog sent me the following email last weekend:You always do great “starters” and I thought if you had remembrances of yours [First Friend] it might qualify for a prompt for your followers.

How do you get to work? I’m thinking about this as I ride the Long Island Railroad for a day of meetings in the City.

The title of my blog is incorrect because I have found my favorite French fry and believe me, I’ve searched.

  I’m writing this blog on Sunday. The weather prediction for today is 97 degrees with a heat index much higher. I just made myself a large cup of iced coffee, my favorite drink in the heat.    

Do you bother to “unsubscribe” from “junk” and other unsolicited “emails?   I generally just hit delete. I found it quick enough as I processed emails.  

It's become a household name for ride hailing services even though there are several now.  I find that using them is convenient and fascinating. Some have snacks and drinks for their "guests" while others entertain with music and sparkling conversation.     One, from Alaska, has made a name for himself by offering a "ride menu."   Brilliant :)
