Hi Hap,

->  hn> So yeah, there's every liklihood that I would
->  hn> have gotten some rotten apples in the deal...
->  hn> about 90% chance of it I'd say (grin)

-> But, you didn't know at the time that this one would also produce some
-> golden apples. (At least that's what some people tink of Microssoft.)
-> (G)

 hn> No matter what you think of it, it would
 hn> have been a good investment had you put
 hn> money in on "the ground floor".
 hn> As I was saying to Michael in an earlier
 hn> message, so far I've been pretty good at
 hn> avoiding wealth (grin).

Still waiting at the air port for your ship to come in?  We're waiting
for great aunt Agatha's millions (but haven't figured out what side of
the family she's on).


->  hn> That's why it's called the low country!
->  hn> Funny thing though, when I was a kid
->  hn> I didn't mind it a bit! I'm happy to be
->  hn> aclimated to my particular climate now
->  hn> though!
 hn> ->
-> I've been in so many climates over the years--but have come to the point
-> where I don't want a hard winter any more. The occasional cold snap,
-> maybe snow with one of them (but gone the next day) will be tolerable
-> but none of this October to April snow, ice, freezing temperatures, etc.

 hn> I am also involved with an online artists
 hn> community (I do watercolors) and many of
 hn> the members are from climates like Yellowknife
 hn> Jim's..One, a nurse, lives in Northern Ontario and
 hn> walks to work (1/2mile) even during the winters!!

My brother that used to live in Albany (NY) did that. He retired a
couple of years ago & moved to Florida.  Even with love bugs and
hurricanes there, he doesn't miss the snow.

 hn> I'm like you, I don't mind an occasional cold snap
 hn> and even some snow every so often..but I tend
 hn> to like cooler temps than most, but I would not
 hn> like to live live Jim, with common temps in the
 hn> double digit minuses!

Not for me either. I'd have to stay at home, with a perpetual mug of hot
tea in my hands.  Tho, if there's enough snow, it will insulate the
house a bit.


-> -> at the end of the tunnel--and hope it's not an on coming train.
 hn> ->
->  hn> There we go with the 90% probability again!
 hn> ->
-> Then hope the tunnel has a spot hollowed out so you can slip into it
-> before the train goes by.
 hn> ->
 hn> Amen!

Agreed.  Beats getting that run down feeling. (G)

-> -> All Mariners or some of the other teams too? Sounds like it's nice PR

->  hn> So far none of these cards have been
->  hn> Mariners...the guy I bought them from
->  hn> told me they had not been "gone through"
->  hn> but I'm not thinking that was a truthful
->  hn> statement at this point...but I'll still
->  hn> manage to give them away! Lots of
->  hn> folks call me the "card guy" and they
->  hn> often come looking for me when they
->  hn> come to a game. I don't mind at all!
->  hn> I'm happy to add to the enjoyment!

-> And you wondered why you got the "Rookie of the Year" award a couple of
-> years ago?  Sounds like the ball park was on the ball when they hired
-> you.  Besides, had you not gotten in with the Mariners, you nver would
-> have met Tom Seaver and found ut he owns a winery. (G)

 hn> I just try to make the fan's day at the
 hn> ballpark a good one regardless of the
 hn> score on the field. I am lucky in that I
 hn> really do have a lot of fun at the ballpark
 hn> and I think it shows. Meeting three world
 hn> series pitchers in one day was certainly a
 hn> big thrill, but I get a big thrill out of just
 hn> being there for lots and lots of games!

That's your Peter Pan side?  I see the M's got Ken Griffey, Junior
back--much to the disappointment of the Braves.
