The most anticipated At Bat of Spring Training happened yesterday between Prince Fielder and any default San Francisco Giant pitcher with the result of Prince being hit with a 30 mph fast ball.
What got these two clubs (well, one club actually) all frenzied up was a walk off Home Run Prince had last year.
Here is what started the brew-ha-ha.
I think most people will think that was pretty funny and I bet most Giants, while they lost the game thought it was a little amusing also.
One thing I like about the Brewers is that they have a lot of fun and it shows up looking like they are being cocky.
---------------------
Some of you are surprised I have a blog today. ME TOO!
So I call my mom yesterday to make sure we are on the same page and I say "I'll be coming down tomorrow about 9:30" She says "That will be WONDERFUL, I'm looking forward to it, but remember we have my Doctors appointment on Monday" . . . . . . what? Monday?
sigh!
-----------------
I'm looking deeper and deeper into Art Fairs and this whole Credit Card processing thing is stressing me out. So many to choose from! It's like a kid with 5000 marbles but they all look pretty alike and he can only choose ONE!
------------------
And then there is koobadog - sure - keep quiet for YEARS until just the right moment and . . .WRONG!! It seems I said something yesterday that was not completely accurate. I'm pretty sure it was the first time I was not 100% accurate but I'm not sure.
The inaccuracy was with Old Abe. That is not the original bird. When I was doing my deep deep research there was a passing sentence saying "the perch was destroyed in the fire". it said nothing of the bird. So I ASSUMED since the PERCH was destroyed the bird was saved. I was wrong. Old Abe went up like a sparkler on 4th of July and she now has a stand in (I will call her Conan the Eagle).
I guess there are lurkers out there just waiting to pounce on my NEXT mistake.

HEY - It's March . . hmmmmmm what happened in March about TWO years ago, hmmmmmm
Yesterday was the Anniversary of the first real blog of this blog with Why Columbus and When and there have been 473,063 pages read as if 4 seconds ago.Good Grief people, get a life!!
I think we should have some sort of reunion at some point at the Kurth. Any ideas for a date? Should we wait for warmer weather for a reunion of our first Kurth Event? Let me know.
Anyone out there that did not make it to the Kurth you are all invited!!! We're all a big crazy family and linked for life.
-------------------------------
OH - we were talking about water bills and wondering how much water we actually used. It always says cubic feet of water. Well, a cubic foot is ABOUT 7.5 gallons of water. so multiply your cubic foot by 7.5 and you will see how much water you use.

Ray,
ReplyDeletelol...you tried to get me again and it didn't work!!!
I was going to tell you about Ol' Ed's...er...Abe's stand-in, but you weren't going to have a blog today and I didn't want to leave a negative note over the weekend, so I didn't.
I'm up for a Kurth's Reunion but would perfer waiting until it warms up a little. It gets a little cool on the back deck!!!
ok ok, I said I was sorry. But I'm a capitol tour guide, and I tell that Old Abe story about 2000 times a week. I just couldn't let it pass.
ReplyDeleteThis lurker also has a suggestion on where to find "paper" paper clips. Still looking? They do exist at Pop Deluxe on State Street.
koo - you give tours? Have you seen that photo I have of the Statue with Old Abe attacking her?
ReplyDeleteI need to know who that is. (You must have seen my Capitol photos right?)
In fact IO need guidance on all of my cap photos! You should stop by 1 W Wilson sometime and I'll give you a tour and you can explained to me what I have.
That'd be great - I love what I've seen of your photos , but don't recall an attacking bird. I'll stop by W. Wilson on Monday after my shift (1pm ish). Do I find you in the directory?
ReplyDeletekoo, look under Ray!!!
ReplyDeleteKoo - not Monday - taking mom for Doc. DJ and I have lunch until 1:30.
ReplyDeleteI could meet you in front ???
In front of what, and when?
ReplyDeleteTuesday's good all day for me. Just let me know!
How about Starbucks on the Square 1:30 Tuesday - OR OR what ever day you work and are near the square?
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog for not having one on Friday! LOL!
