March 29th, 2005 I'm Full Of Crap - Okay. I'm full of it. Daylight Saving Time begins April 3rd. It started Sunday in Europe. It's still a silly idea, though, especially for those of us who work exclusively inside.
The Babe was my hero when I got interested in baseball. Of course, I was about ten, and the nefarious side of the Bambino wasn't known to me - I only knew The Babe Ruth Story, I didn't know Babe Ruth the womanizer, smoker, and roughhouse. Did it matter to me when I learned all that? Not really. He's still considered one of the greatest baseball players ever - the only one to call his own home run, the one to led the Yankees in their slugfests with the Cubs, the holder of the Home Run titles (most ever and most in a season) for longer than anyone else. There's something to be said for a guy who mistreated his body and still managed to stay on top of the record books for that long - stupid, but enduring, and iconographic. Its a tribute to the man that those in baseball who have broken his records are surrounded by the indignity and accusation of steroids and cheating. Baseball is the sport for boys. Its too bad that the men who play it live up to the reputation of Babe Ruth outside the stadium, instead of the achievements performed within. Jack Jack! - Go buy The Incredibles if you
haven't already. Then go take the
Which Incredibles Character Are You? quiz. I'm Elasti Don't laugh. I'm armed, and I can reach out and touch you if I need to. Fedora Tip: Michelle Bells will be ringin' - The craziest blogger on the net is getting married. Frank J. got engaged over the weekend. Congrats, Frank. Is there going to be a "Fun Facts about the Wedding" posting? How about a "Know Thy Enemy - The Wedding Planner"? |

Take
Me Out To The Ball Game - Once upon a time I owned this stamp,
ripped from an envelope that had been mailed to my dad. The stamp
album was just a set of paper sheets folded in half and stapled
together, with the stamps either licked & stuck or taped in.
