Howdy there Jim B!
We just have to get together again for a coffe and a "show and tell". I will share my observations and insight from John Kruk's "I Ain't no Athlete, Lady, I'm a Ballplayer" while you explain your book to me...I ain't worthy!

Another coffee and "show and tell" would be great. Let's figure it out. Jim |

1) An Old Judge Mike Dorgan. One of those N172's that's supposed to look like an action shot, ie he's sliding, but really looks much more like he's lying on his stomach because he threw his back out (think Larry Bird 1992 playoffs).
2) Don't have an IPod, but I have rigged a Victrola with ropes and duct tape so I can listen to Gregorian chants when I jog. (As I write this I have The Violent Femmes "Add it Up" on the headphones). 3) "The First Tycoon," a biography about Cornelius Vanderbilt. Good read. Just finished a book about Teapot Dome by Laton McCartney, also a good read. Last edited by Anthony S.; 03-22-2010 at 12:19 AM. Reason: That bastard we know as spelling. |

Cards on desk.. none, my wife would throw them out if i left them laying around... last ones i bought were UFC cards..... they would be out if possible
Ipod- right now i have Billboards #1 song since the beginning of the charts back inthe late 50's about 1200 songs i think, and then about 600 or so 80's hair metal songs (Ozzy, Motley Crue, stuff like that) New ludacris album I belong to a music board like this one, get anything i ever wanted via download. Reading- only thing i am reading right now is the classifieds cause i am looking for work, So if anyone buy Oilfield or hydraulic seals, let me know, i can help ya out! Otrher then that most of my reading is done online... Just read the Inside T206 centennial last night, done by one of the members with insight from Ted Z. Makes me feel really clueless about older cards.

Cards on my desk:
A stack of about 40 cards from 1956 Topps that are about to be sent to a collector, and a taller stack of 1955 Bowman cards that are meant for yet another collector. Music on my iPod: I don't have an iPod (and my 11-year old daughter now owns my old MP3 player but I don't have any idea how that happened). However, my laptop is filled with songs from the 1970s -- about 2000 of them right now -- that I am using to help me write my weekly blog posts. What I'm reading: "One-Night Stands With American History" by Richard Shenkman and Kurt Reiger. A great book filled with interesting tidbits about U.S. History from Colonial times until today. |
