Wait... I thought he was The Answer to everything!!!

Well said, Fred!!!

Jimmy's in North Jersey, with a nice view of the Pulaski Skyway.

Woke up today... the sun was out, the Earth had not spun off its axis. Looking forward now. To the CFP championship game. After that, whatever. LOL

Yep.... several of them are "merges" in name only. And DC is even worse. LOL

The fine art of incrementalism.

It was White Marsh Mall. There very well may have been something going on at Columbia, too. Lots of purple, all over the area. LOL. Ellicott City is a terrific town!!!

OK... you had me at "Watermelon Margaritas."

Yeah... you are on target about this current situation with the team. And you are so right about the team owner. The franchise has been, shall we say, less than stellar on his watch. I'm with you... I rarely follow anything NFL anymore. Other than that I'm glad the Ravens are doing well. My Super Bowl is the upcoming Monday night college FBS title game. After that, it's wait until late August for me. LOL.

Maybe because the DC team firing everyone is kind of a routine thing with them?

And some of us could use a good cut man in our corner.

I was at a mall here in the Baltimore area today, and saw about a dozen or so members of the Baltimore Ravens Marching Band setting up to play. I thought "Wow... they're here for a pro-woodwinds rally... amazing how much support the idea has"... but then remembered the Ravens have a playoff game this weekend and there are events all around town.

Trust me... we had a mix of people who were either really ticked off, or laughing at the whole thing!!! LOL

Good question. Heh... several years later, early 1990s... Mickey told me he should have penalized Westshore that night. Oh well. LOL. Stuff happens, right? That "incident" capped off an absolutely bizarre summer for us. Several of Sun's all-time best "war stories" came from 1980.

Yep. Remember it well. All too well.

That might be above my pay grade!!!

I hear ya, George. It's like being in a Perry Mason episode. LOL

Too bad you guys aren't closer to Baltimore. We'd be out drinking a lot.

However, I do know a corps that released live pigeons...

2000... the "right the ship" year. AKA Larry and Friends 2.0.

The Columbus Gardens venue will never be the same.

I think they broke the place by putting Randy and me in at the same time. LOL.

Sounds like a Twilight Zone episode. LOL

We'll all find out Saturday, right? Nothing about this is guaranteed or set in stone. The only thing I can absolutely, 100 percent guarantee is that the Tigers will win college football's FBS national championship Monday night.

Remembering the Stan Freberg spoof... "Turn off the bubble machine!!!"
