FOR ALL YOU BASEBALL EXHIBITIONISTS

There is a great baseball memorabilia exhibit going on 
at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA.

 It has been there all summer and runs through
 Labor Day Weekend.

This is not a card show or a swap meet. 
Nothing is for sale!
This is an exhibit of historic baseball items such as uniforms,


baseballs, gloves, masks, bats,  



pennants, scorecards, pictures,


  trophies, movie memorabilia, 
newspaper articles,


and LOTS more!


 Plus, for the price of admission, you also get to tour the historic Reagan Library which houses the former president's Air Force One as well as numerous historical exhibits! 


I highly recommend it.

DUCK TRACKS!!!

Here is what you've been waiting for- wire to wire coverage of 
the Giant Rubber Duck that accompanied the tall ships
 into San Pedro, this week. 

You knew that you would find "everything Duck" here, didn't you? Of course! After all, it is the WEB! 






Oh Yes!
There were tall ships too!



Great day in So Cal!!

LETTERMAN REMEMBERS ROBIN WILLIAMS

This David Letterman tribute to Robin Williams is more than 10 minutes long, but it is very well worth your time.
 Letterman reflected, on his TV show, about their early years at the comedy clubs and there are some great clips from William's many appearances on "The Late Show." 


There is even a clip of young Dave appearing with Williams 
on the "Mork and Mindy" show. 
I hope you enjoy it.
(there are two videos on the page connected to this link. 
you want the second one behind the picture of 
Dave, Robin and Richard Pryor)

SOUNDS OF SILENCE!!

 I have been doing some temp announcing work 
for Clear Channel recently. 
My job is to voice news and weather updates for 
IHEART RADIO stations in a number of U.S. markets. 
You might here me in Detroit, Phoenix, Honolulu, Albuquerque, Milwaukee and a variety of cities. 
I record the updates, edit them and send them down the line. 
Part of the process is adding two seconds of "silence" to the end of each recording. 
I'm serious! 
There is actually a setting on the audio editor
 which allows me to "Insert Silence".


I got to thinking. 
How great would it be to have a button 
like that to use in everyday life.
Certain people?
Certain situations?
Certain blowhards?
In the words of the Beach Boys,
 "Wouldn't it Be Nice?"

RIGHT ON TARGET!

I am so excited. 
There is a new Target store in our area!


Now I don't have to travel so far to get my
 identity stolen and my finances trashed!
