    Me: How about I write a sequel to POP FLIES about a girl who wants to join the baseball team? Husband (who is a former h.s. baseball coach): shakes his head

    Kurumi Mochizuki, 13, loves soccer and admires Homare Sawa, the captain of Japan’s women’s world cup winning team from 2011. But in order to play herself, she had to join a club where she is the only girl. In Japan, it’s not easy being a female athlete.

    Embarrassed to say I did not know this: Japan has no law like Title IX, the US statute that requires schools receiving public funding to offer equal opportunities and no public data on how much schools spend on extracurricular sports or how it breaks down on gender lines.

    There are many things I love about South Carolina but this is not one of them.

    Just when I think I can’t be more ashamed of South Carolina’s political leaders, all SC Republicans voted today against investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. Five people died. 1 cop died. 140 cops were injured. Never let “blue lives matter” come out of their mouths again.

    It’s safe. It’s effective. It’s free.   And it’s your choice. Choose to get vaccinated—for yourself and for others.

    Two 12-year-old female skateboarders just qualified for the Olympics. During the summer when I was 12, my biggest accomplishment was getting tickets to an *NSYNC concert. Look how far we've come. Congratulations, girls!
