Lots going on, folks!

As reported in the Partonville Press, the Wild Musketeers, Partonville's senior softball team, have yet to find their groove this year and lock a win, mainly due to the fact ace pitcher Jessie Landers (aka Mugsy Landers, back in the day when she played semi-pro for the She-Bats) has been sidelined with a groan pull. During my post-game interview with Maggie she blamed her injury on husband Arthur who, she says, "...should have moved the dang Lazy Boy himself! And I want to go on the record with that." When I approached Arthur, who was seated on the tailgate of his pickup near the outfield sidelines, for a comment he gave me the squint-eye, whipped out his Hohner Harmonica and played a few bars of Blame It on the Bossa Nova.

Only in Partonville would it be called a groan pull instead of a groin pull :)

Hello Nancy, Yes, perhaps only in Partonville have we jokingly referred to groin pulls as groan pulls (appropriate, no?) for so many decades that I didn't think twice about using our local euphemism. However, as an editor of a newspaper and now a blogger reaching a wider circulation than our small-town limits, I realize those unfamiliar with our local Partonville-isms might think it a typo. My apologies. But now that I've "enlightened" you, I'll let it stand. And a dime will get you a dollar if you don't start calling them groan pulls yourself! :)

Hi Harold, I love everything about Partonville and it wouldn't be the same without a few "groan pulls".

Uh oh, the Musketeers are going to struggle with their star pitcher ailing. Leave to Maggie to tell it like it is. 'Blame It On the Bosa Nova' indeed. Lucky for Arthur, Jesse's not up to throwing things at him, or he'd be in trouble.

    My name is Harold Crab and I am the editor of the Partonville Press. I am new to blogging but I will try to do my best to write a newsy tidbit now and again, something that might not make the paper or, hopefully, one of Baumbich's books. We heard she's snooping around here again, writing down our every word for a Dearest Dorothy #7!
