I also got to see Clemens and Pettite pitch in the playoffs the year we went to the World Series. ^

I was at that game too. But my best baseball memory was at Dodger Stadium when Gibson hit the "Shot Heard 'Round the World." I'll never forget that day.^

Well, I was. And I hated the LA Lamisters with a passion.

When I was a kid, they were the Brooklyn Dodgers and baseball died for us when O'Malley scrammed out of town with them. Nobody even knew where this Los Angeles place was and lots of them could tell you almost anything you wanted to know about every important city in Germany or Poland or Russia.

I've kicked my 8700g across the parking lot a few times. Has also bounced off the driveway ... It's fairly sturdy.

Go figure. If I have what he thinks, it's only 20 minutes of surgery and two holes. And about a week or two off sick.


If that's the case, none of us are going through SFO until you are well! Keep us posted and I hope it all goes well. If you have surgery, the good news is, more time for FT!

She may win for worst guesser because she has Texas vs A&M in the finals. Like that will happen :rolleyes:

Plus1 went all safe and has all four #1 picks in the final 4 - equally :rolleyes:

I have Texas in the finals :)

You know I should have my right knee checked out as I'm sure it needs scoping (along with my shoulders) It's been a tad unstable for the past year after it decided to go all hurtsie on me when going down the killer stair case at work. :mad:

warranty doesn't cover spilled coca cola!

Everyone hates the Dodgers. It was quite weird when my son played Little League because he had to wear a Dodger uniform one year and we live in San Francisco. :rolleyes:

We really gave a ^ to the first episode, have not watched the second one yet. OTOH, watched "Ted" something tonight and did not like.

I had never even conceived of somebody doing such a thing. I was so naive. :D

Silly Plus1. I remember doing that two years ago because of a similar promo. :) I was hopping between the Westin SFO, Sheraton SFO and the W Newark.

They are definitely durable. I have just dropped mine one too many times and it does weird things with the software even though i've reflashed it.

Sounds just like my knee. The first sign of pain I had was kneeling. Then going down the stairs became painful and now it's walking. It doesn't hurt to see a doctor.

There was also 2 Hyatts but he forgets those. He was maybe only there for one night so I may have done one Hyatt on my own. I don't think he's been with me when I've checked into two hotels for the same night. That's fun too.
