This Past Week's Reading And Garden Stuff

1 Kings 1-22.
Acts 9-15.


It's been spring for over 2 months, and my forsythia bush is just now starting to bloom.  I knew we had a long winter. 

I almost had to send this guy back out.

And I planted potatoes for the first time.  Good thing I know what they are...what are they again?

Friday and Saturday Reading and World Series Videos

2 Samuel 19-24.
Acts 7-8.


As I was getting ready for baseball season to start, I discovered more videos and rediscovered others regarding the 2011 World Series.

The first is an awesome video of game 6 from multiple people's perspectives, probably taken from other YouTube videos people posted, and I think put together by an amateur videographer.  It's really well done, and if they are an amateur, they should think about a career in video production.  ALERT- some "colorful" words here and there, including from what appears to be a nut (but well done by the producer- love The Office reactions, was exactly how we all probably feel about that dude).



Next is the ESPN immediate post-game of game 6.



Even better are the ESPN immediate post-game videos of game 7 which I enjoy for showing the density of the crowd surrounding Busch Stadium that night.  My oldest son was down there that night, and had no ticket to get into the game, but had a good time anyway just being there.

Monday To Thursday Reading And Home Openers

2 Samuel 7-18.
Acts 3-6.


I kind of prefer the Cardinals opening their season on the road.  Seems to be less pressure to get off to a good start.  I'll take 3-3 against NY and MIL.

Too bad it's so cold that Red Schoendienst couldn't attend this year.  As the oldest living Hall of Famer, I have always looked forward to seeing him.  He always looks so good, much younger than 95.

Still, quite a lineup showed up tonight:

Chris Carpenter.
Mike Shannon.
Tony LaRussa.
Joe Torre.
Whitey Herzog.
Bob Gibson.
Lou Brock.
Tim McCarver.
Ted Simmons.
Ozzie Smith.
Bruce Sutter.
Jim Edmonds.
Willie McGee.

And Bob Costas.

Always fun to see everyone together again.  Maybe again this fall?
