About

The baseball boysI’m a 50ish denizen of Salemtown which is the neighborhood directly above the trendy Germantown area in Nashville. We haven’t quite trended yet. I live with a wonderful person named Lynn (my wife) and Odelia and Sparky (dogs). My three kids have fled the coop. My sons live here in Nashville and my daughter is in Peru, Peace Corp-ing away. I have a masochistic love affair with Vanderbilt sports and continue to enjoy the Rolling Stones after all these years. Of more recent vintage, I like the White Stripes and Patty Griffin.

I enjoy the Story (Sam and Lynnette Davidson’s exploration of what church should look like). I love baseball and have been a Yankee fan for 46 years, so ya can’t call me a frontrunner.

I am spectacled, if not a spectacle. I’m not all that interesting to myself, but I do have the odd opinion or two or three.

    How serious are you about the Oce stuff? Is your machine working now?

    We’re thinking of getting one, and your comments are food for thought.

    Thanks.

    After a really depressing stop and start three weeks, the OCE seems to have been de-kinked. It’s got LOTS of bells and whistles we don’t need, but I have to admit that the quality level is high and I haven’t seen the repairman round lately.

    At one point, I thought we were going to have to set him up with a cubicle.

    Hey John…

    Wondering if you’ve found my new locale yet, would love to know what you think!

    Thanks for the info! We already give our copier repair guy an office. (No joke!)

    So if we could cut back to just a cubicle, we’d come out way ahead.

    I’m so glad that you liked my husband, Matt, in “How I Learned To Drive”. Matt has written a play, “Hanging Mary”, about the elephant that was hanged in Erwin, TN in 1916. It plays from March 8th (yesterday) until the 17th at The Belcourt Theatre in Nashville. It’s being produced by People’s Branch Theatre. Here’s a link to the commercial he made for it. See the play… You’ll be amazed at what humans can do… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVnYEM7yHv4

    John,

    Thanks for your vote in my race against Crazy Mary Pruitt. I’m proud I was able to offer you a choice.

    Sure… it was an uphill battle. But some battles need fighting anyway.

    I’m probably a distant 3rd too. haha. or tenth. Calling myself second best was probably an exaggeration.

    John,

    I caught one of your old comments over at Terry Frank’s blog, in the archives.

    I’m afraid it will do little good, but I’m proud to say that i voted for Jim Boyd. Pritt, besides the stuff you talk about and quote above, is nuts.
