Good Morning Guys and Dolls:
Well it’s Thursday in the USA and Friday somewhere in the Pacific but to all welcome. We have a few observances to raise our glasses to today.
24-Hour Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering and Technology – The dolls are getting their due this week.
Dream 2010 Day – That’s everyday for me.
Johnny Appleseed Day – Apples for everybody, nice juicy apples red, yellow, green who cares.
World Kidney Day – Bless all those that shared theirs with the ones who needed a kidney to survive.
We lost another young actor yesterday Corey Haim. The only movie I saw him in was “The Lost Boys”, a really enjoyable film with a good cast. Rest in Peace.
Spring Training is in full bloom here in Florida. Locally we have the Braves, Tigers and Astros. Kansas City had their spring training camp at Boardwalk and Baseball years ago however due to decline in attendance they closed in the 1990’s. I remember seeing games at the cost of around $10 a ticket, now only to pay anywhere from $29 to $60 per ticket. I remember when my sons were small; the Astros had a minor league team here. The highest price ticket was $6.00 and they had a club for the kids called “The Knot Hole Club.” As I remember it cost them a $1 per ticket, they received a membership card and a raffle coupon for a drawing held after the 7th inning. The kids received old bats and baseballs. A fun evening and not expensive as to break your budget.
On a local radio station this morning I heard a gentleman call in expressing his desire to have a professional baseball team here in Orlando. His idea was to level the Citrus Bowl and Tinker Field and build one beautiful stadium. Great idea buddy, but all the politicians here wanted a high speed rail line and guess what Orlando got a train to nowhere. Maybe in ten years express your desire again. Have a great day Speakies.
