Did you know I used to be crazy about baseball, and even more crazy about baseball card collecting? When I was about 10 or 11 I used to sort baseball cards for a guy who owned a baseball card shop in town. He evidently liked me and took me under his wing to teach me the business with his son (the one putting me in a headlock at a baseball card convention). To this day,...
If you are ever in St. Helena, just outside of Napa, be sure and check out Dean & Deluca. The only thing I make sure and buy every time I'm there is Cock & Bull Ginger Beer. I'm pretty sure it is the most manly soda a person can drink if that is what you are going for in life (me...not so much...I just love bold tastes). I'm also a grocery geek, and this is...

They are som big, powerful and dare I say even ugly creatures! Here are some interesting facts I learned from my visit: Adult ostriches stand 8' to 9' tall and weight 250 to 350 pounds Ostriches mature at 2 to 3 years, and breed until 40 years An ostrich can reach...
I went to Yosemite yesterday with Christina and her family, or maybe they went with me? Any how, we all went to Yosemite yesterday and the weather was beautiful. I've been fighting a cold I got from Tyler but got through the day pretty well despite a nagging cough and fire hydrant nose. On the shuttle ride back from Yosemite Falls everyone on the bus saw a black beer but for some reason I couldn't...
