The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Sunday, August 26, 2012. Not Quite Ready for Some Football. The other thing I like about football is that it is how dad went to college. He paid his way into school on an athletic scholarship.

The Clarence White Blog: Mom and Hilda
http://theclarencewhite.blogspot.com/2012/10/mom-and-hilda.html
The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Monday, October 1, 2012. Mom and dad came from New Orleans, a different world where a few still spoke the last smatterings of Creole, but themselves spoke English that had no hint of the French that dominated many of the name places and was cultivated to distinguish them as Xavier University students. Of course, my mom what stunned. Surprised and stung in a way that hearing the word nigger always stings. It is America&...She t...

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Monday, September 10, 2012. Fiction Spot: The Last Running Summer. THE LAST RUNNING SUMMER. He remembers the days that seemed to go on forever, the sun-scorched, coarse grass that was, in the later days of the season, slightly too long for the games of tag, touch football, kickball or whatever they chose on any given afternoon. The days grew long, overlapping into dusk on that summer and fall stage of recollections. Donny reme...

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Saturday, March 24, 2012. Your Next Love Letter. It was almost not great. I tested it out in the store. Plunk, plunk. So many of these machines do not work, like the IBM Selectric I lucked into not long ago. Beautiful machine, but it’s electrical insides are scrambled and it knows not how to behave. This one felt great. Seemed to function great. One purpose it served was saving the many recipients of my many letters from havin...

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Saturday, November 24, 2012. We set out, this year for Thanksgiving, just the two of us, Sid and me. Sid was sad that his cousins would not be joining him this year. He was glad to hang out with grandma and grandpa, especially in the kitchen. The story of our preparation was marked by excited anticipation. Sid asked if we could go up to grandma and grandpa’s a bit earlier than I suggested. For some purposes, yes. We are making...

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Tuesday, October 9, 2012. How to Win a Political Campaign. One of the reasons they can’t is because of us. A lot of people say they are tired of campaigns and politicians. I am tired of a lot, but most of all people complaining about politicians. One of the things I am tired of is the complaining. We don’t want humility. We want them just as they are–only better than us, but one of us. Then, maybe, we’ll win. Mom and dad came ...

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Monday, April 16, 2012. Don’t Tell Me Where You’ve Been, Wanderlust Train. That will wander with more lust. Than i will ever be able to keep up with. And longer than i can stand to wait. From further away than i can imagine. But its horn is a siren. That will turn my head. Every time it passes my open window. Even on the coldest night;. My ears will perk. In the silent frost and my. Neck strains to bring them closer. For a bri...

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Tuesday, December 11, 2012. Love as Wind-Tossed Paper. 8220;I love you,” she said. 8220;You don’t even like me,” I said. The recipe for the perfect argument. Both of us wrong. No heart to be an enemy. But sometimes i wish. Subdued by passion spent. Long ago that brought. The blindness of fools. That cannot hide us. Now illuminated, I can’t bear to see. We squint, grasping for. The word that makes us win. Why can’t he hear.

The Clarence White Blog. I never said most of the things I said. - Yogi Berra. Monday, June 18, 2012. A Return to Baseball's Cathedral. The umbrella would be unnecessary. We substituted the scorebook with an inexpensive scorecard and a pricy pencil from the gift shop. Close enough to the field to notice the blades of grass that were disturbed by the sliding play of Twins second baseman Alexi Casilla, vivid numbers sewn onto the backs of uniforms, the chance at a souvenir foul ball. Behind us sat a fa...
