He needs more sons.
Those cobblestone walking surfaces are all over Europe. Make high heels impossible with the gaps. Everyone has to wear flats with the gaps. Look goo but concrete more functional.Good morning from ATX. Currently 64°F and partly cloudy. Today's high may reach 75°F. Cold front moving in tomorrow night.
Much work lies ahead. Wishing y'all a great day.

Being a Cardinal fan, I watched Bob a lot. He said the mound was his. If you made an out, you DID NOT return to the dugout by way of the mound without paying a penalty the next at bat. Once Willie Mays wanted to chat while Bob was taking BP. Bob told Willie to leave him alone. Willie did not. The first time Willie batted in the game, Bob broke Willie's rib with a fastball. Bob played for the Globetrotters in the off season till the Cards paid him extra not to play basketball.Hello all,
Started early and finished late, no room for much else. Leaving soon for my Grand daughters ballet performance. At four she has a small part but we will sit through it and enjoy loving her...
BASEBALL... Bob Gibson... a true baseball Player (An understatement.) Really trying to get my love for the game back with current players. These memories hopefully help... Baseball is a great game, people screwed it up...
Good morning from ATX. Currently 44°F and clear. Today's high may reach 66°F. Warming next week.
Work, work work. Wishing y'all a great day.
Bamberg was untouched by WW2 bomb damage. Many local churches are amazing.

It is blurry, but the guy in the background has to be Dal Maxvill, a .217 hitter with six total homers. Bob insisted he play ss every time he pitched. Quite a glove man.
Read a bit on a couple of Ohio State boards. With their missing players, most expect to lose. That is as it should be when someone plays UK.Good morning folks. Game day for the Cats!
This Saturday is usually a fun part of the Christmas run-up to me. IT's the day that for years we'd have a Christmas party at my wife aunt's house in Manhattan. And I remember very distinctly being there twice when the Cats beat UNC-CHeats in epic games, and another time when the Cats obliterated UCLA -- the 2014 game that was 41-14 at the half, or whatever. Of course, I couldn't watch the games at the party but when we made it back to our hotel room and the Cats had won, it helped make those Christmas parties even more memorable.
No party today, but it is a nice opportunity for the Cats to close out the out of conference part of the schedule as a huge success.
I hope all of you are doing well and sliding deep into the Christmas vibe.
Thinking about this post. We were playing a softball team leading by two runs in the bottom of the seventh. They had the bases loaded with two outs. Their batter had played for the professional softball team out of Louisville. Don't know if they still have pro softball or not. Anyhow, we walked him intentionally, then got the next guy out to win by one run.I was just reading about Albert Puhols. His senior year in high school, he hit 8 home runs in 33 official at bats. He had 55 intentional walks.

NEED I SAY IT?
Quite a few years ago, mine wanted to get her concealed carry license. I taught her to shoot and went to classes with her so she could get her permit. Sometime later we got in the car to go somewhere and I said, " I forgot my 38." She said, " that is ok, if something happens, I am handing mine to you." I took that as a compliment.Wife gave me a compliment this morning as we were cleaning up and getting ready to go out for lunch. She was putting her make up on and I was grooming my beard. As I was combing and brushing it, I noticed she was watching me (The beard is her idea) so I ask (jokingly), "What? Do I look like the bearded lady or something? She laughed (it worked) and then said; "There is nothing lady about you, no one could ever mistake you for being gay". Best compliment she has ever given me.
