Uff, it's been a while since I've posted anything on these forums. I'm pretty sure I've had two birthdays since then. Anyway, here I am putting off things I "really needed" to get done this weekend and instead reading random spewages from a few names I recognize and a lot that I don't. I simply could not resist this topic - my whole life seems to be a train of random thoughts (I don't limit myself to just Sundays but for your sake, I will try). Hey, when you're a runner you can either think about how far you have left to run (yikes, scary thought) or you can think about random tidbits until by some miracle your feet get you home. Here are a few of the bits of randomness that hopped in and out of my head this morning as I ran in the rain. ...I've been really lucky these past couple of years. Things have worked out pretty well. I wonder if I'll be so lucky this year and they will finally fire Bill Bavasi...[later on, again putting off things that needed to be done, I discovered an ONLINE PETITION TO FIRE BILL BAVASI. I don't know if I nearly peed my pants because I was laughing so hard or because I was so happy.] That might have been too much information. Sorry. ...I bet it's not raining sideways in Peoria right now...[later on, once again trying to avoid the work that I needed to do, I found out that it was Sunny and Near 70 in Peoria.] *sigh* ...That new Seattle Times guy who's covering the M's this season is a pretty funny dude. I could probably put off a lot of yard work reading his blog....[yes, you guessed it, I wasted a good part of the day reading Geoff Baker's ramblings]. I wonder if Blue Jays fans miss his musings now. One thing is certain - they are probably getting more yard work done than I am. To be honest, there was a lot more bouncing around in this brain of mine, but I should probably turn off this computer and at least go feed my dogs. At least then I can say that I did something productive this fine Sunday. By the way, a big thank you to the people who keep this site not only up and running, but who make it such a special place to come back to. And another big thank you to the creative folks who continue to come up with these amazing contributions. Thank you for sharing them with the rest of us.

CB, looks like I was too slow, but here's another one: http://img168.exs.cx/img168/3062/cbsig7xw.jpg Cheers!

And quick....the one you've got there now makes my screen so wide that I have to scroll over and back to read posts. Could you maybe make your interim sig a wee bit "skinnier". I do like the one you've got...it just makes reading the forum kind of tough. EDIT: Oops, it's gone. :oops:

Great post about Hoy. I love these historical tidbits, and that one is really interesting!
