Usually the stories and […]

Excitement is in the air as the League Championship Series kicks off today in the American League featuring Baltimore against Kansas City in the best of 7. I highly doubt anyone had these two facing each other in their office polls back in Spring Training. I give the same answer anytime someone asks me who […]

I am not exactly sure when the magical switch happened, but I have always enjoyed writing. Been told by many that I am not half bad, and people enjoy reading what I put down on paper. I truly enjoy the creativity and freedom of writing. I can admit my weak spot is grammar and sentence […]

The modern bobblehead, also known as wobbler, nodder or bobbing head doll, first appeared in the 1950’s. The oversized head is usually […]

Having off time from work I enjoy hitting the open road, driving to new places and checking out “things.” The other day I made the drive, about an hour and a half, to Auburn University, home to the Tigers. With some advice from my friend Kelly, who graduated from there, I took the rest upon […]

Only I can turn a nine hour drive into a 12 hour drive. Just ask my mom, who sat in the car screaming at me the entire time, it is not for the lack of speed that I drive. Â It is all due to the number of baseball stadiums that I stop to see along […]
