Tuesday, the Pirates defeated the Brewers, 4-3, for their 81st win of the year. The victory, ensuring the club of its first non-losing season since 1992, improved Pittsburgh’s overall record to 81-57. The 81 wins through 138 games are the most for the team since the ’91 club had 82.
My opinion is that their next win–the 82nd is much more important. That win will ensure a WINNING season. The Pirates have been playing like winners and will likely make the playoffs. Whatever the result of this season, the team, the fans, the owners will have a renewed winning tradition to follow.
The Keys family came together in May 2013 to celebrate my mother, Jean Keys’, 80th Birthday.

We spent a wonderful summer day at the Gettysburg Battlefield with Austin. We had a tour guide drive us around the battlefield and tell us the wonderful, yet sad history of those three July days in 1863.
The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, is considered the most important engagement of the American Civil War. After a great victory over Union forces at Chancellorsville, General Robert E. Lee marched his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in late June 1863. On July 1, the advancing Confederates clashed with the Union’s Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade, at the crossroads town of Gettysburg. The next day saw even heavier fighting, as the Confederates attacked the Federals on both left and right. On July 3, Lee ordered an attack by fewer than 15,000 troops on the enemy’s center at Cemetery Ridge. The assault, known as “Pickett’s Charge,” managed to pierce the Union lines but eventually failed, at the cost of thousands of rebel casualties, and Lee was forced to withdraw his battered army toward Virginia on July 4.
We visited Virginia Beach in mid-July 2013 with the Browns. The highlights of the trip were rest, relaxation, and bogey boarding. My favorite activity was breakfast at Pocahontas Pancakes right across the street from the time-share.
