Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for February 05, 2014

The problem is, that’s a right-hander’s glove and Scooter is a southpaw.

AND his name is Scooter, not Catcher.

Looks like Scooter’s distracted. Probably checking Miss Millie High Maintenance.

Yeah….Scooter’s picturing Miss Millie …when he makes that home run….

He knows just what she’d wear….just how she’d look…..

And his mind just…..er…ball?What ball?

Scooter’s hoping to get to first base.Hi Susan.Fancy seeing you here.

Brrr….. cold outside…but always cozy at the Tiki Bar….

Little monkeys…. don’t get too close to the fireplace!

No singed tails tonight, please!

Hi X!…. would you like a beer?Or on a night like this… a hot toddy?

I’m even thinking of trying an old recipe for Tom and Jerries….

Ooh I like that idea….. and we’ve got some great chocolate….not to mention plenty of brandy.

Whipped cream? I don’t suppose marshmallows…..

As my Diva would have said, “What did you throw that for?”

Scooter has some Seahawk in him.

Brrrr…. its 12 at teh Northwes end of BS…..win chill -8….

Scooter knows baseballs iz for chewin’! And… think I’ll head over to the Tiki for an Irish Coffee – it’s -2 here; -18 windchill. Too cold to shiver…

I’m all packed….

The scene across the street from my house, taken a half hour ago:

New ball, slobberless, no teeth marks…what is there to catch?

It’s amazing how many words get changed by spellcheck that I miss.

And now, a not-so-lazy dog and ball vid…

@StelMay I come too? I’ve packed my “tropical” suitcase! I loved our last trip to Ecuador!

@Stel – Beautiful winter scene (to LOOK at) but I saw that for most of my life – even though we are not expected to see 70 again until next week, I’m happier here.@Bev – Love the GUILTY dogs. It was very difficult to catch Cuddles in a single shot back when she first started chewing on the base of that little side table (she is motion-blurred with the shot as I kept moving her back near it until I finally got one).

She was trying to avoid ANY association with the evidence.

re: “ah kant go….. !!sumbudys gotta watchk teh TIKI…!!!!it never closes….!!! member?”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

OK, everybody! Go home and unpack! (This means you, too, 2old, but not really)

If the Sheriff can’t leave winter behind, then we’ll just all have to camp out at the TIKI and keep him company!

The upcoming 50th anniversary of the Beatles’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show is February 9, 2014.The following is excerpted from a list of 10 lesser known Beatles songs put together by our local paper’s on-line service……

Free as a Bird … "Working off a crummy homemade cassette recording of an unfinished demo, McCartney, Harrison and Starr attempted in February 1994 to resurrect Lennon, who had been murdered in December 1980. The haunting track demonstrates the individual strengths of the foursome. "

I don’t think spellcheck ever did one like that to me (but if I really have difficulty spelling something, I do a search in another tab (or use a different word). My spelling has never been very good for an English major (in HS only).

Is it just me, or do those still shots of Etta over the years look like 2 or 3 different people – did she have a lot of “work done”?(I’m still thinking about it, especially as I hope to stay with this younger man). ;-D

Willow Weep for Me

Night all…

Catching the ball orally is perfectly acceptable in Sparky’s world. From his vantage point, he missed it because he couldn’t move fast enough to complete the play due to some joker placing a baseball glove on his paw. He was busy trying to get the dang thing off when the ball went zooming past his head.

The tourists will be _so_disappointed.
