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:
bragging just a little

Marking Eric envious!
I shook hands with Goose Gossage today, and visited with him for about ten minutes. He was in the Coors Field lobby, working on connecting with a friend coming to the game with him, Goose had the friend's ticket and they had lost touch with each other in the crowd.
He remembered talking with me on a few occasions when he called the club over the years. He is just as nice in person as he is on the phone.
I know I've been quiet for too long, and perhaps this isn't the most diplomatic way to return to the blog, but I had to share.
I have more to write, about my knee surgery and the recovery from that and my first few days back at Coors Field. Real life has rolled around again!
And the Rockies are 3-1, won their home opener for the first time in several years. Jeff Francis got his first win. I wasn't able to watch very much of the game, but I did see a very nicely timed strike out, with two out and two men on.
