It’s been quite a while since I posted anything here, so guess it is time put up or shut up. There is no particular reason I have not been heard from in a while. All is well here and life goes on as usual. Except for the constant bombardment of political ads on TV for both presidential candidates that should offend the sensibilities of anyone with an IQ above that of a fruit fly.

JITH 2008
We just got back for our annual trek to the Jamboree in the Hills in Morristown, Ohio. The crowd was smaller than usual this year. Might be due to the over $4.00 per-gallon cost of gasoline and maybe the gradual decline in the number of big name acts over the years, coupled with the increases in ticket prices.
But once again a good time was had by all, except for an hour or two on Sunday afternoon when the venue got hit by one of those nasty Ohio Valley thunderstorms.
My famous brother
My brother was inducted into the Ohio Wrestling Hall of Fame a few years back, which is quite an accomplishment. But he’s really made the big time now. He’s got his own entry in Wikipedia!
So Much for Tradition
For years, the town I live in has had a fireworks display on the Fourth of July. Last year, for the first time ever, a few of the fireworks accidentally ignited on the ground and caused minor injuries to a few spectators.
As a result, starting this year, the town will have a Laser Light display instead of fireworks. Safer yes, but I suspect it will not be near as much fun.
D-Day
The 6th of June 1944. Let us never forget the sacrifices and accomplishments of the “Greatest Generation.”
Buy me Some Peanuts and Crackerjacks!
I spent last night at Nationals Park watching the Washington Nationals play the Chicago Cubs. The Nationals won the game in the bottom of the ninth on a walk-off home run by Wil Nieves.
Nieves hitting the game-winning home run was the stuff movies are made of. He has been playing professional baseball for over 12 years, but over that time has only played in 70 games in the major leagues….and this was his first home run ever in the majors!
