FREEDOM of the PRESS!…
WOW! My first BLOG! It’s kind of intimidating, actually. Unlimited space, unlimited reach to the entire WORLD–people in AUSTRALIA could be reading this! SO, how about I start with some random thoughts/statements…just kind of throw some stuff on the virtual wall, see if anything virtually sticks…
Me and one of the guys at the station sat down the other night to play STRAT-O-MATIC baseball, an old-fashioned chart and dice baseball game. Hadn’t played it since the 1980s. Both he and I used to play obsessively, full schedules even, one game at a time, keeping complete statistics and records. What FUN to get out the cards and sit down for a couple hours. He took the ‘85 Mets, I took the ‘85 Phillies–there weren’t any Rockies in ‘85! I took two out of three games. Can’t wait to play again. Anybody remember this game?
Why does it always seem like when you take your car in for work, there’s always more work [$$$] than you expected? A had a $586 brake bill this past weekend. Seems like brakes ALWAYS cost more. The rotors are ALWAYS “too worn to be machined,” et al…
My daughter wants a CAT now. We’ve never OWNED a cat, and don’t plan on starting a NEW chapter of “adventures with pets” at this point. We got her guinea pigs for her birthday last year. That’s adventure enough for now. They are fun–interesting creatures. They have a built in “flight” reflex, where if you reach for them they scurry into their little “pigloos” and HIDE! [I can relate!] No matter how used to you they get, they can’t overcome the urge to RUN when you reach for them!
That’s all for now…
