Observations, rants, and musings by Joe Siegler.
Kind of an odd question. I know some folks from the Dallas area read this blog. I was looking for a place that sells a particular brand of beer. That brand is Iron City Light Beer. It’s a local beer brewed in Pittsburgh. My wife is from there, and when we first got married, we […]
Was reading some blogs this morning, and ran across this one. I really liked the “Hello” graphic in the upper left hand corner. :)
I love cats. I’ve been living with a cat now for 23 years. I have two now, two Tonkinese cats named Kira & Zathras. But if there’s one thing I hate about having cats is changing the friggin cat box. I suppose it could be worse, having to clean up after a dog, but I […]
Tomorrow is the date that the Fed will start issuing the newest print of the $20 bill. I’ve always been one that’s into money – for some reason I’ve always gotten excited when a new series of bill came out, even though the date and perhaps the Secretary signatures were the only things changed. So […]
For the 2003 season, I saw 33 games in person. I watched untold (probably over 100) other games on TV, some on radio, and even closed down a stadium (I was in Philly for the closing of Veterans Stadium). However, I don’t think I saw a game quite as good as I saw tonight on […]
I’m just a blog writing fool tonight. :) I watched the season premiere of Saturday Night Live this past Saturday. It’s something like Season 28 for the show, I think. For the last few years I think the show has been headed towards a down period again. The show has always been cyclical – we […]
My wife got me this book for my birthday, and it seemed like a book right up my alley. I love baseball, and I love keeping track of players from the past, and where they travel during their careers. This book does a wonderful job of bringing together lists of players for all the current […]
I’m back from my trip back home. The thing that started my trip was to be there for the closing of Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia. I grew up there, and wanted to see the closing of the place. Was a quite emotional moment. I know a lot of people don’t get choked up over things […]
The Last Roundup (Star Trek) by Christie Golden I was home visiting family recently, and when I left, I borrowed this book from my brother for the flight home. It’s 280 or so pages, and I read the entire thing waiting for my plane in the terminal, and for about the first 45 minutes of […]
I grew up in Philadelphia, and as a kid living in a town, I didn’t know much baseball outside of my own town. Hell, until I was 23 I never saw a baseball game anywhere except Veterans Stadium (which is being shut down next weekend – I’ll be going there from Garland, TX for that). […]
