Expecting some good stuff from the AL match ups. Not too familiar with the NL, but if forced to choose, I'll take Milwaukee.
Forced to use my iPad, the laptop isn't liking my router. Other than funky typing issues, and not liking YouTube, this machine is awesome. Also, the laptop lost its sound. I am gradually being weaned over to Apple products. I wonder if Apple products will all malfunction when Jobs kacks?
On that pleasant note, good morning all.
Plus the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival starts today. Prine,
Plant, Bromberg, Isaak, Musselwhite all today. Also some band called Woods - hope it ain't Tiger.

Good morning. Baseball's over for me for this year. I will root against the Yankees though. Supposed to be a good day to close the pool I guess. Hate to do that since it marks the end of summer but it's one less chore until May.

Payday for me! And, since I am on a two-week cycle, this is the 3rd payday this month (happens twice a year), meaning I get a little more cash because they only take my benefit costs out of two checks a month.

Finally a minute to sit down with coffee (yes Lonnie.....I have the coffee here.) ;D
Jeff.....I've been waiting all month for today.

Morning. I'm not sure what some of you guys are talking about. September went by really fast for me. Seems like it ought to still be August. Maybe July.
