Baseball is Life, and my sister is a scorekeeper!

PERSONAL

I awoke this morning at 4:30am to a 3- after about 7 hours of sleep. It was a 3- because I had three of my “patented” aneurisms, before bed last night. It must be why my vision and hearing were also a little off this morning, but I’m all 5x4 now. I felt bad about not making my local unions contract vote Sunday but I understand it did pass, and based on what I heard about it I’m not sure if I’d have been in the 75% or 25% group. The 75% group I guess because, as I understand it, the Committee recommended it, and aside from the negotiating committee being big, it was also diverse. I also found out last night that Judi’s MS walk is on Cousin Jim’s Birthday. He is not sure but he also may be a Grandpa by then. Ahh, the spring Dew is a coming.

POLITICAL

I listened to Arlen Spector of Pennsylvania talking about the Presidents Budget and as I understand it, there are two ways to present it. One needs a majority in the Senate (51) votes and the other needs (60). He seemed pretty sure he could keep the "NO" party together and maybe even pick up enough Democrats to get to 51 or even 60. He also has said he was for workers rights not too long ago, and he was lying then, so I don’t think we should believe him now.

Is there a viable Labor Party in Oregon? What is a Blue Dog democrat? Is it just someone who say’s, I want democrat voters support when they vote, I just don’t want to have to vote with them when I get my “big” office.

SPORTS

Blazers tonight, it should be a good one.

I have received a lot of information on “how to” play fantasy baseball but I’m still looking foe a place to join that’s FREE.

This is one of the books I spoke about yesterday, It was a good enough read I downloaded it and printed it out. I don’t care what they said, Dads move to first, it was not an illegal move.

“Baseball is Life: Amateur Baseball and the Importance of Leisure in Butte, Montana, 1920-1960”
