A Few Words of Explanation ....

As some of you may have noticed it has been almost a month since my last blog entry .... my how time flies when you are having fun NOT!

i thought it might be prudent to give my loyal readership some insight to my blogging habits ...

first of all, i NEVER blog if i am on a house-sitting job ... something about using someone else's computer to spout my own personal opinion of things just strikes me as somewhat strange ... so i dont.

secondly, i NEVER NEVER blog if i am not feeling good enough to finish what i might start ...

thirdly, i only blog if something catches my eye or ear that is of tremendously vital interest to me....

so there you go .... three rules of blogging from your friendly GEEK.

However since i have started this blog let me just say a few words about some recent and extremely important (to me at least) events ....

to wit .... i have found myself unable to stop the aging process and discovered this past April 2nd that it has been 25 very very short years since i graduated from High School and having never been to a single class reunion since that time i did indeed choose to go and see a few of my fellow young classmates. It was a beautiful day to be in Healdsburg, CA .... perfect weather and so great to see all those faces with whom i spent time so long ago. Tony and Karen if you ever read this just let me say for the record that you both did a FANTASTIC job of making everything work; and for the rest of my classmates who were able to attend ... it was great to see you all again and relive some of the experiences we shared back in our wilder and more reckless youth ... for those i did not get to see who might , just might, read this ... see you in 5 ... and Steven ... thanks for insisting that i had to go.

The cool thing about reunion weekend was that it so neatly coincided with the start of my very favorite time of year in all the world .... thats right BASEBALL SEASON!!!! ... and while i know that some 11-13 games have now been played let me just say that my predictions are as follows ... AL: Red Sox, Twins, Athletics and Angels will make the playoffs this year ... sorry Yankee fans i think this year is gonna be a downer .... i also think the Twins will break through this year to be AL Champs. In the NL i see the Braves, Cardinals, Astros and unfortunately the Dodgers making the playoffs with the Cards winning the NL crown and beating the Twins in 6 games for the Title ... oy vey ... whats a Giant fan to do not only do we NOT make the playoffs but our sworn arch-rivals will do so at our expense ... gonna be a long summer Boomer .... especially for the orange and black.

On an even closer to home note though, i do forsee that the Sacramento River Cats will again win both their AAA division and also the PCL Championship despite having to give 7 or so of their players to the BIG CLUB again this year ..... but things could always be worse ....

BTW if you have never been to a minor-leage baseball game and you live either in a town where one plays or you have one in a nearby town take advantage of that and take a trip to the ball yard nearest you ... its GREAT FAMILY entertainment and at an excellent price in most cases ...

PLAY BALL!!!!


i fear that the time has come for this edition of "THE GEEK FILES" to quote the immortal words of P-P-P-orky P-P-Pig and say "That's All Folks" ... for today ....
