Talking Baseball

As a life-long Yankees fan (even in the eighties and nineties when they won about 50 games a year), I was happy to receive an email from my brother that contained this link to a news story that says that Don Mattingly’s son, Preston, has signed to play with the U. T. Vols.

“Donnie Baseball” is clearly the greatest baseball player to ever live. While his numbers towards the end of his much too short career may not have been impressive (his back was messed up for the last three or four years of his career, making it difficult to swing a bat), his leadership skills always were. Derek Jeter is probably the only player that he can be compared to today. Don loved baseball, and still does, as the hitting coach for the Yankees.

If Preston loves the game as much as his dad, then he too, will become one of the greats. And I’ll get to say, “I watched him play in college!”

Watch for Don Mattingly’s blog…Coming Soon!

No Wonder Peter Disagrees With Me

You Are Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. And pretty cute too. No wonder you’re the most popular superhero ever!

What Superhero Are You?

I’m Almost Back

As though anyone cared.

I just wanted to let anyone who is going on the Audience One/Alpha and Omega Ministries/Sovereign Grace Singles Cruise scheduled for November 4-11, know my itinerary. I thought you might like to know because if you like me, you can follow me and my wife around and learn to dislike me, or, if you already dislike me, you can make preparations to avoid me while on the Cruise, by not purchasing the excursions that we have decided on.

First, At Grand Cayman, we will be taking the Land and Sea Combination which departs at 10:15am.

Second, At Ocho Rios, Jamaica, we will leave at 9:00am to go on the Spanish Town and Best of Jamaica excursion.

Finally, at Costa Maya, Mexico, (this is awesome) we will leave at 7:30am to visit the Kohunlich Mayan Ruins.

That’s all for now. I’m going to try to get back into the blogosphere by Monday.

Good night, and God bless the U.S.A.
