My...Thanks for reading, and hug that wife of yours! My wife was great. She had a lot of patience and dealt with my ramblings and analyzing and creative rants well. I've learned to tell people how you feel and how you appreciate them. It may make some feel uncomfortable by being direct, but you never really know if you have another chance later. Good luck in rolling!Kenneth Heardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072933923543276082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7257460674438308350.post-81039503697744336762014-08-05T01:03:45.987-05:002014-08-05T01:03:45.987-05:00Just some random comments pertaining to your posts...Just some random comments pertaining to your posts of the past few weeks:<br /><br />Your wife sounds like she was a wonderful woman. Mine has been fast asleep for hours but I'm going to give her a big hug when I go to bed.<br /><br />I'm 55 years old and I have a large sports game collection, mostly APBA baseball. I used to think that I would go crazy playing when I retired, which I did this past January. Well, it hasn't happened. I played a game roughly every second day from 1998 to 2008 and then, for some reason, I hit the wall. I've replayed several World Series since then but that's about it. <br /><br />I do still enjoy adding to my collection, though. A couple of the items I recently purchased are the 1950 Replay Baseball game card set and the Statis Pro 1950 NL cards from their Great Pennant Races set which also includes the 1964 NL and 1967 AL teams. I also have an exact reprint of the original 1950 APBA set and the reissue set from 1984 that I assume you're using for your replay. I haven't done anything with any of them. Maybe some day...<br /><br />I also think about my mortality in terms of seasons I'll never replay, books on my shelves that won't get read, and DVDs in my collection that won't get watched. It's a strange feeling because I, like yourself, still feel and think much the same as I did when I was a kid. My interests haven't changed, only my responsibilities.<br /><br />I love your Roy Winston jersey! I've been a purple bleeder since Bud Grant first led the Vikes to prominence in the late 60s. Bud's still a legend here in Winnipeg, just as he is in Minnesota. A great man.<br /><br />Be well, Ken. I very much enjoy your blog and must make a point of visiting more often.<br /><br />JohnJohn H.noreply@blogger.com
