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.

Local Boy Makes Good
Roy Halladay of the Phillies pitched a perfect game yesterday, just a few weeks after Dallas Braden of Oakland did the same.
Halladay is from the Denver area, graduated from a suburban high school in 1995. He spent his baseball career up to this year with the Blue Jays, and there was talk here in Denver late last year that he might join the Rockies, but he chose Philadelphia instead.
What's interesting about Halladay's career is that he is now a teammate of Brad Lidge. Lidge also graduated from a suburban Denver high school, also in 1995. As high school athletes, the two pitched on opposing teams in that year's high school baseball state tournament. Lidge's team won the championship.
