Books and other stuff I feel like discussing
By education and experience - Accountant with a specialty in taxation. Formerly a CPA (license has lapsed). Masters degree in law of taxation from University of Denver. Now retired. Part time work during baseball season as receptionist & switchboard operator for the Colorado Rockies. This gig feeds my soul in ways I have trouble articulating. One daughter, and four grandchildren. I share the house with two cats; a big goof of a cat called Grinch (named as a joke for his easy going "whatever" disposition); and Lady, a shelter adoptee with a regal bearing and sweet little soprano voice. I would be very bereft if it ever becomes necessary to keep house without a cat.
Mood:
REALLY exhilerated!

Coors Field Nugget Ten - Oh boy squared
Rockies off to face the Phillies in Philadelphia on Wednesday after a 13 inning, 9-8 win over the Padres on Monday.
Phones were relatively quiet, a few nutcases, nothing worth writing about. Most of the questions were related to MLB's contract with cable channel TBS to carry playoff action in baseball this fall.
After I closed the switchboard, I went over to lost and found to help log items in. The tiny room behind the booth looked like a Salvation Army outlet - a startling number of VERY nice jackets and sweaters, many of them soaked with beer. Two backpacks, 8 cameras, 3 sets of keys, and for a change, no cellphones. I wasn't counting, but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there were nearly 200 items found as the fans left the stadium. One guy, who should get the "most honest fan" award, turned in a wallet with quite a few $$, and several credit cards. Fortunately, there was an ID as well, so the person who lost it will get it back intact.
Next game at Coors is Saturday.
Stay tuned.
