Why Would I Want To Look At Your Blog?

I asked my niece who was visiting for three days if she'd like to see my blog. She said: Why would I want to look/read your blog? I actually just wanted her to make sure it was working. Well since this is a Yankee blog, here's the latest Yankee news. The poster picture on the wall fell down just now on top of our New York Yankee Night Light. I see it as an omen. Maybe Alex Rodriguez's drug injecting cousin should be allowed back at Spring Training. The picture falling on the Yankee Night Light gave me that vision. Next it will be the Virgin Mary. I'm sure she's a Yankee fan.

Drug Free For Life?Different Strokes For Differen t Folks.

So I had my head examined. The MRI shows that I had ministrokes all over my brain. Still I am drug free-no prescriptions just an aspirin a day and don't drive for six months. My carotid artery test had not come back yet. But I'm to see the heart doctor on March 10th. I have 220 cholesterol. But no prescriptions. I have low B12 but no prescriptions.

So Major League baseball may not be drug free but I am even after ministrokes. So it's different strokes for different folks. That's for sure. So I remain the only baby boomer living not taking a prescription or ten.

Also I made the Business page of Florida Today today about my 4931 Squires Drive house with pool for sale on the 7th fairway of the Sherwood Golf Course. It's reduced $100,000 from last year and still not selling at $179,000. So I've had my 15 minutes of fame.

My husband, the Yankee fan cries over a replay on MLB of the 1960's World Series, gets all involved in selling a Flip Stick-his 19th unsuccessful business venture,and ignores my ministrokes and business page real estate news during the worst financial crisis in US history.

So it's different strokes for different folks. Which of course brings us back to baseball. Got ******-asteriks?

Hall of Fame

Baseball records have been inconsistent ever since the baseball season was extended. The same is true in this steroid era. Furthermore if there was no testing during the first 100 years of baseball how do we know what substances were being abused or performance enhancers were being used then? The ESPN Steroid witch hunt is nearing its final inning. Next come the Barry Bonds Salem Steroids Trial.

No Comment

This is my first blog. No one writes comments even after I went unconscious and fell in the pool. It was almost the demise of a lifelong Yankee fan. Still no comment. The MRI of my brain still has not come back so I don't know if they found anything. I have felt great during ALL THE TESTS(DOESN'T EVERY HYPOCHONDRIAC?). But sure enough yesterday at 4:00 I could barely drive across town especially on little tiny bridges and at 55mph. So I rested and called hubby for help(whose $800 motorcycle with $2000 in repairs wouldn't make it across town without a stop for a can of oil.) His motorcycle and I recovered and made it shakily back home. First I went to the Space Coast Quilt Show at Brevard Community College. It was excellent . I met my Art Teacher who asked me how I was. I said : It's not worth discussing. But I could barely converse with her. After a candy, I seemed to cheer up and enjoyed the show. The quilts were colorful, creative and very skillful productions. I made the Titusville Quilt showing The Cape Canaveral National Seashore and a rocket blasting off from the Kennedy Space Center as the wallpaper on my phone.
So my next project is a Yankee Go Home Crazy Quilt.

Futbol

Yankee Stadium was already a scandalous extravagance. But when Cramer on CNBC is predicting the banks will fail soon, it is no time for complacency. The Bronx has had 10% + unemployment for decades. Bronxites like soccer(futbol). Turn Yankee Stadium (old or new) into a soccer stadium. The Mafia loves soccer. They'll support it. Futbol has been very, very good to me! FIFA, WORLD CUP, $$$$. We are a Nation of Immigrants and the new immigrants(legal or illegal) love soccer (futbol). So GOAL! Score one for the Bronx!

Yutes

Youth is no excuse Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps. Prisons are full of foolish yutes. To Congress: I say stay out of baseball this year and concentrate on the economy stupid!
Reappraise all recent housing purchases, reduce the principal and charge 4% interest before there is 10% unemployment and the banks fail. Obama's plan is too little too late. HE said it was a crisis 20 times yesterday in McCain's foreclosure capital of the USA. A big crisis needs big help.
Reappraise and reduce the principal. Where was McCain when Arizona was being destroyed by speculators? Where was Obama? Do any of these people have a business background? Who is watching the store?
Maybe their excuse is just like Alex and Michael, except they are old(ancient) and foolish. Maybe the Leona Helmsley Wing at the federal prison for white color crime would curb some of this financial foolishness.

Tee Shirts HangingOnTheCountryClubTownhouseBalcony

SIXTH GREEN
I came home after my neurology , MRI,EEG,Holt Monitor, blood tests to find that my charming husband who bought me nothing for Valentine's Day had hung Yankee tee shirts and a laarge Yankee banner off our balcony looking over the country club's 6th hole. The tee shirts said Mattingly and Jeter. The banner commemorated all the Yankee World Series, Hubby was welcoming in the baseball season. He had already hung 25 hats on thumbtacks in the garage last week. It's the worst real estate market in history. I'm trying to sell this country club townhouse just to break even. I hit he roof, removed the tee shirts on hangers and there is a God up there because when I returned from the divorce lawyer later, the Yankee Banner had blown down. I told that Yankee to Go Home in his van a.s.a.p.. He didn't yet. He's playing golf.
So first it was A-ROD not to mention the upsetting new Yankee Stadium next to the perfectly good,beautiful old Yankee Stadium,and now Yankee tee shirts on my country club townhouse balcony to ruin Spring Training and probably the whole season.
Got balls?
