Baseball Card Blog

Someday, I'll take some time to read through these. I'm still banking on some my cards helping to pay for my retirement someday.

Fireman Alan

My latest project

Mostly straight, square and level. Build one for $650 or buy for $3,000? What would you do? How do you like my skylight design?

Still gray, but not for long

At least that's what i'm told.

The Stripers must be coming

There were 4 or 5 guys out this moring along the river/marsh. There have been 1 or 2 out there for the last few weeks, but i think they are here to stay now. All last year there wasn't a single day that went by that there wasn't someone out fishing along the river. Must be good eatin ?

Staying power

The only bands that were around when i was a kid and are still relevant today are:

U2
Aerosmith
The Police (Sting)

I'm talking about bands/people that have maintained their relevance to pop culture....of course there is MUSIC from the 50's, 60's, 70's and even 80's that will be around for ever. All i'm saying is that those artists, today, are usually better remembered for what they did...and not about what they do, today.

Reese - TIME 100: The People Who Shape Our World

Everyone has an opinion

I still say its pretty damn hard to hit a ball coming at you at 90mph no matter how much juice you take.

I think the best Rock n Roll song of all time is

Sympathy for the Devil by the Roliing Stones. The drums, the guitar, the piano, the ooh ooh...if that song doesn't get you moving, nothing will!

1,000 covers of Rolling Stone on the wall

take one down, pass it around, 999 covers on the wall.

NEW YORK - Rolling Stone magazine celebrates its 1,000th issue this week with a burst of rock 'n' roll excess: a glitzy Manhattan party with the Strokes as house band and a 3-D cover that mimics the Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" sleeve and cost nearly $1 million to produce.

Who's that hiding behind Elmo?

I was thinking the other day, do you think the kids that actually got to appear on Seasame Street fealt any different about seeing the characters as puppets and not "real" like they appear on TV?

Someone should do some research...maybe a "E! True Hollywood Story" The Kids of Seasame Street.

What I'm reading- The Dogs of Babel

Excerpt from 'The Dogs of Babel'
By Carolyn Parkhurst

Here is what we know, those of us who can speak to tell a story: On the afternoon of October 24, my wife, Lexy Ransome, climbed to the top of the apple tree in our backyard and fell to her death. There were no witnesses, save our dog, Lorelei;

The man who never was - 1956

Garrett and I watched this movie when we were both home sick a few weeks ago. Actually, i watched it an Garrett slept through most of it. Best part of the movie (IMHO) was coming up with the concept. Toss someone out of a plane to plant information for the Nazis to "find" that would never work....but float him in the ocean and let him drift into Spain, of course that will work just fine.

interesting twists towards the end and one tries to figure out what the other is up to

.406 club is gone

Has it finally sprung ?

I think Spring might be here to stay this week.

Simpson's Movie

Will they finally "Jump the Shark"....i doubt it.
