=========================
Massive apologies for being offline for so long!!
Things are currently hectic but in a good sort of way.

-> Now we're right at .500 and in the cellar. I am waiting

-> valentine.

->  HN> The Yanks are coming when the Mariners

Whereupon we unloaded Ichiro on the 
Yanks and sent him on his merry way
with a "contender" Cuz'n Burt will be
happy and many Mariner fans are as well.
 
-> All teams are pain in the keester for you.
-> 
Toronto is often as big a pain in the
rumpus as are Boston and Yanks. The 
charter busses coming down from Vancouver
serve alcohol all the way to the park. With
the Canadian drinking age being 19, we end
up with underage drunks in the ballpark who
are continuing to try to buy beer or wine
or even coctails, and who take umbrage at being
denied service. And since there are many Canadian
fans who come down just because Toronto is the 
"only" Canadian Team..So it often comes with
built in problems from overzealous fans of both
teams "interacting" inappropriately.

->  -> Never was. Plays with heart and great arm strength,

Yep!
->  HN> In my 4 years of high school ball, I hit a

-> 
-> In one of the great jokes of the 20th century, I played
-> in a graduate school softball league for a while. As I
-> couldn't see, I mostly pitched, as the plate doesn't move
-> much. Even with the big ball, I couldn't see it as it
-> reached the plate when I was batting (baseball, which I
-> played a few times, was far worse). I hit one homer. It
-> was a great excitement.
->
I'm not sure my feet touched the ground on my 
single round tripper...thank goodness the other
team did not appeal the run!!
chat with you soon!
