I found this podcast interesting, and thought baseball fans might be interested as well.

DS,TS&NS: Thanks for the postcard from Mexico. I just received it today.

do you think the bear and chicken were looking for each other?

Thank you for making me laugh.

I forgot to mention last week that I made the newspaper.
Well the police report, in any case.
(see the fifth item down? I made that call)

In other news, it sounds like Sandy's school is in a lockdown because of
a bear outside the school. Kids these days are soft. They never used to
lockdown school for bears when we were growing up.

I hear there's a lot of crazy women there

Has anyone taken the survey yet, because it hasn't collected any responses? If not, this is your reminder.

my phone stopped letting me watch You-Tube and I never tried to figure out why because it is a time suck. And work doesn't let me watch You-Tube because, well it is a time suck.

It's You-Tube. The single most popular video sharing site in the world.

"well, we don't get much call for it 'round here."

V - check my facebook page. Maybe you can see it there.

I can't see it :(

Sick D, Indeed!

Sick D Lauren!

sorry to make this more complicated. click on "change" and search for scout Frank D at zip code 59715

Frankie needs to re-check that link or he won't be getting any online sales, sidebar says: "You are supporting no one."

Found hermit crab in the master bath tonight. Alive and crawling.

Hello, I am selling popcorn online this year to support all my scouting activities. If you are interested, follow the link Thank you for your support.

excellent play Lauren!

Highlight from Mulberry field today:

Lauren stays with the grounder and gets a put-out at 3rd.

FRISBEE!

I'd look for lemon and butter remains on Payton.

did he just switch shells?

had a hermit crab jailbreak sometime during the night last night. Whereabouts unknown, reward for info leading to recapture. Call TIPS line if you have ideas about where to find him.

funny, the last guy at my company who took inventory was fired for doing so.

haha, I kid, but no, seriously, they had to let him go, he was stealing from customers.

well I'm sure glad that you do inventory...because I sure don't know what the heck I have in my lab anymore.

thanks for rubbing it in. I probably deserve that.

inventory WOULD'VE taken all of an hour and a half, but hunting down the last dolphin scanner took way too long.

ugh, and why can't I sleep in after that?

so 24 hours at work on at the most 5 hours of sleep. I would say Physical Inventory is done, but there is some reconciling to do.

Can't quite read that one... the menu offered "Chocolate in panna cotta, mouse, and truffle form"

A 22 & a 26 year-old beat you. I'd say you won. You rock!

AO,
Sorry I couldn't hold your spot for you...

Cell phone navigation systems don't work inside...

mso, I don't think that was the motion sensor, I think you were probably outside and the sun just went down.

Double-check next time, are there an unusual number of squirrels in your company bathroom?

try getting more ruffage, might reduce your length of visit.

that use to happen to me in the restroom at work. Used the cell phone to navigate out and I am still here today.

when I worked in PA the timer shut off the lights at 6 or 6:30 and I just took it as a sign to leave.
