Got the Hint & a Quote

Okay, okay, I got the hint.  I get it, that was a bad first poll.  But seriously I was just trying to see if it worked, how it looked, etc.  It looked okay, and I see how it all works now. 

SO...check out the new poll and let me know what you think about that one.  :)

For the Love of the Game

Baseball is a game where a curve is an optical illusion, a screwball can be a pitch or a person, stealing is legal and you can spit anywhere you like except in the umpire's eye or on the ball.

James Patrick Murray

Baseball is almost the only orderly thing in a very unorderly world. If you get three strikes, even the best lawyer in the world can't get you off.
Bill Veeck 

Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer.
Ted Williams 

If a tie is like kissing your sister, losing is like kissing you grandmother with her teeth out.
George Brett

Is anyone else enjoying the MLB post season?

Wow!  I run a lot more than I thought I did.  :) 

I am the host for next week's Fun Monday, anyone have any ideas on what we could do?  Spy photos?  Since it is the Anniversary of FM we could do looking inside your door instead from your door out.  Any ideas?

Quote of the Day, January 6, 2009

I do not regret the things I have done, but those I did not do. - Unknown

Boy, isn't that the truth.  There are several times we have sat around saying we wished we had done one thing or another.  I have already regretted not doing something this year, so I am making it a goal.  I wish I had learned to knit when I had the chance.  I hope to learn to knit this year.  Now I just have to find some willing soul to teach me.  :)

Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year Everyone!  We wish you the best in 2009!

Now for a little quote.  It fits today.  It could be talking about the football games today, or the resolutions some people have made for the coming year. 

"I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is the moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."

~~Vince Lombardi

^{(Now I am going to take down the Christmas tree.)}

Quote of the Day - Dec 22, 2008

This might be one of the best quotes yet.

Many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up.  They have retained bubbling-over boyishness.  they have relished wit, they have indulged in humor.  They have not allowed "dignity" to depress them into moroseness.  Youthfulness of spirit is the twin brother of optimism, and optimism is the stuff of which American business success is fashioned.  Resist growing up!  ~~~B.C. Forbes

I really need to copy this and hang it in my office.  :)

Have a wonderful Monday!

"Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil painting 

and autumn a mosaic of them all."
-   Stanley Horowitz

I know it isn't officially Autumn, or Fall, yet but it has really cooled off here.  That is why I chose this quote.

I love this weather.  But here is a little tidbit of info on me, I love every season.  There is something beautiful about each season of the year.
