We would like to wish a very happy birthday to Can of Corn.
We would also like to wish a happy birthday to Milt on Tilt. Gone but not forgotten.

Digging a little deeper here. Totally dig it, though.
1979
Baseball crept up on me with all the other junk going on. Not seeing baseball players during work every day has caused me to forget about it too, I guess.

My new(ish) position requires business professional attire; specifically, suit & tie or sport coat & tie while the Legislature's in session. I own three suits that fit (two that don't - I've put on weight since I got out of the Navy) and had no sport coats until last fall. I was pretty excited about a "Buy One, Get TWO Free" ad I saw until I looked at what the "Buy One" would cost ... $650 for a nice wool suit from that purveyor!
I settled for a couple of new pairs of Haggar slacks on-sale for $28. They're polyester, but not hideous, and should get me through the end of session so that I can save up for higher-quality options.
Savages are back with a new album. It's a good thing.
