Speaking of play-by-play men, as a Giants fan I grew up listening to Russ Hodges and Lon Simmons and later Hank Greenwald. I remember when we would go camping, we could always pick-up Vin Scully at night. I had it good! LizzieMaine is absolutely right about the "yawping gasbags" that pass for...
A book that I recommend is Arnold Hano's "A Day in the Bleachers" It gives detailed account of the author attending a World Series game in 1954 at the Polo Grounds. I can also second LizzieMaine's recommendation of "The Boys of Summer" My mother gave me that book in 1972 after hearing Roger...

God, that just jogged my memory. I seem to remember playing on one of those too! It was in a park in Campbell or Saratoga, CA if I remember correctly...maybe Los Gatos? Were they common across the country?
Thanks for bringing that back to mind.
Mattress Size
WildRoot,
Your bed is no doubt what used to be known as a 3/4 bed. 3/4 beds are same length as the twin/full beds but are right in the middle of the two in terms of width.
What do you girls think about this? I think that it makes a lot of sense for those of us that just don't have enough space for both our girlfriends and a Christmas Tree during the holidays.
Here are a few more. How about that Floyd? I really love this movie. The book "Addie Pray" is great too. There are so many great little details in this film.
We will probably need a second opinion on Elaina's Baklava. I volunteer to be the guinea pig. I also would like to try one of her "T-Bone Steak Stab-You Sandwiches" Those sound good too!
Great choices all of them!
Looking at that list makes me remember "The Swingin' Years" radio program hosted by Chuck Cecil. I used to listen to that religously (it was on Sunday Evenings) when I was a teenager. I couldn't imagine a better introduction to Big Band music than that show as Chuck...
How interesting!
Thanks for the info on the legalities etc. I had no idea what was actually involved.
I would like to hear more about your story. Just the little bit that you wrote has got me hooked. You don't want to hold out on us.
That is funny!
I had a uncomfortable experience a few month's ago when I awoke half-way and this weird, totally strange music was playing on my mp3 player. I kept listening and a voice came on that was totally foreign to my ears. The sponsors were really strange too something like "Biotech...
I prefer my room to be dark and frigid. A/C on low even on relatively cool nights. But, THE most important thing is that I MUST have my OTR mp3's playing though an audio book will work in a pinch. How weird is that?
Like this?
If you look closely, you can see that at the end of Nick's wrist, is something he likes to call "The Old Convincer" It is a gift that can not be given but only "slipped" to someone.

Ya say ya lost your job today?
