Robbie Alomar, The Ballplayer

Roberto Alomar was one of those players who played as though it were second nature. What a joy it was to have him here.

The Commish

With every that passes by, I seem to like Roger Goddell less and less.

My Orioles have fight

The O's still fight back.

I don't know if there are any bad eggs on this team. Even Mike Gonzalez has done well lately.

I don't think there are any guys I just don't like. No Albert Belles.

These guys have pride.

Tomatoes and Bulldozers

ROTFL and such...

Ever see "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes"?

The song that was central to the story, "Puberty Love", was sung by none other than...

Matt Cameron?!?!?!?!

Drummer of Soundgarden?!?!?

Awesome.




Btw, he has been the Pearl Jam drummer since 1998, but IMO, Pearl Jam hasn't put out a good album since Versus. But I digest...

If you want to hear good drumming, check out BADMOTORFINGER by Soundgarden, their true breakout album.

Unfortunately, SG is best known for their worst song, Black Hole Sun, which was played ad nauseum in 1995.

Check out the song "Jesus Christ Pose" on BADMOTORFINGER. That is where it's at.

Also check out "Hands All Over" off of their previous album, Louder Than Love.

Whoa momma.

On the up and up

Proud of Team USA. It was a great tourney.

What is this voice I hear on 1057? It's Rob Long! Rob is the man.

He sounds great with Jeremy. If Scott retires or something, I would love to listen to Rob and Jeremy together.

Went to two O's games this weekend!

Fri with my sis, Sat with good friends. Perfect weather.

What a beautiful ballpark we have. And how about that right fielder?!?! He has pulled his average up. What a professional.

Kristi! My favorite Lady Terp has reappeared! So hope she finds happiness as a pro.

Progress (?)

Is it just me, or is there anyone else who hates these new light bulbs?

It seems to me that they don't save energy if I have to use twice as many to be able to see clearly.

Looking to get fit?

I am starting an exercise regimen and yesterday I was on the web, looking into home exercise equipment. I stumbled onto a website that not only gave me information and advice that I could use, but through a personal email connection with one of the bloggers, I am also now more inspired to follow through on my plans to get healthier.

If you are considering purchasing exercise equipment, I recommend visiting ExerciseEquipmentExpert.com.

Since November of 2006, Nationally Certified Personal Trainers Bret & Grechen Spottke have been personally buying and trying out home gyms, cardio equipment, ab machines and more.

The homepage says "Over 3,489,230 visitors have racked-up total of 9,071,998 minutes, which is 151,199 hours, or 6,299 days getting educated from the Exercise Equipment Expert since it’s inception in November of 2006."

It seems to me that they went to the right place.

Bret and Grechen blog their gear reviews, while also offering a "Best Of" fitness equipment list for 2011, and a glimpse at the evolution of their home gym.

But the best feature might be "Ask the Expert".

I emailed my questions about the "Marcy Mag" recumbent bicycle, a popular and inexpensive bike available from stores like Target and Walmart. Bret responded around noon and his reply was just as excellent as his site.

He was personable and considerate, and suggested different options for how I could achieve my fitness goals that suited my current fitness level and budget. He even directed me to a 6 week Beginner's Workout Program on the website.
