The new $20 bill
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 […]
Red Sox / A’s – NLCS Game 5
Joe SieglerFor 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 […]
Saturday Night Live
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 […]
Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Lineups Review
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 […]
Random Crap
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 […]
Star Trek: The Last Roundup Book Review
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 […]
Texas Rangers Radio
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). […]
Diet Pepsi Slurpee
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been one who drinks Slurpees. I, like most others seem to enjoy suffering through a bout of brain freeze. However, when my office moved HQ, there was a 7-11 pretty close, and you would think that’d be great, but since we moved our office HQ, I […]
Online music services
Is there anyone reading this who is a member of Apple’s iTunes music service? From what I can gather, it’s a pretty decent thing, and it’s supposedly coming for WIndows later this fall. However, I wonder if it’s going to be iPod only. I hope not. Any attempt to actually get into the iTunes store […]
Chiptole!
For anyone living in the Mesquite/Garland TX area… The Chipotle on Town East Boulevard is opening up next Monday the 23rd. That’s great and bad. I love the place, but on Weight Watchers eating one of their burritos is roughy 85% of my entire food intake for the day! It’s also about 3 blocks from […]
