He runs the bases like a choo choo train…
This…this is a picture of Albert Pujols and his baby girl and the awesome ten-foot-tall statue of him unveiled yesterday in St Louis.
Clicking on the picture will take you to mlb.com and a slideshow of the event.

Won’t you read me one more book…
Less than a month till baseball season opens. Yea! The guys are already busy at spring training although I am not sure how ‘spring-like’ it feels. You know, if Direct TV wanted to make extra money from me they would put together a package with one or possibly two Cards games a week and a short recap of the week’s highlights. This, I would buy,
I wanted to mention it is READ AN EBOOK WEEK before it isn’t anymore . I picked up some short stories from the Suvudu free library but looking around there are so many more ebooks available this year than last. A quick search on Google turns up thousands of free ebooks, just waiting to be read.
Found this in my email:
“Your friends at Suburban Home Records want to help you design your next album, website, shirt, ad, or whatever you need help with”.
They offer services such as Album Design, Web Design, Building Vinyl art from CD art elements, T-shirt/merch design, Bio writing, Distribution/marketing advice and/or getting your album registered with Soundscan.
Visit their new portfolio site at http://labelservices.suburbanhomerecords.com to check out past work or send an email to info@suburbanhomerecords.com explaining what help you need.

Sing me the songs that to me were so dear, long long ago, long ago…
Things to do to keep yourself awake (and sane) when everyone but Baby is hang-dog sick and Baby refuses to go to sleep:
Pop over to Fender and watch the video on the New American Standard line. Guitarists from Pete Wentz to Merle Haggard all muse on why they love their Fender guitars. Also has a nice preview of the guitars themselves.
John Morthland profiles Blind Pig Records and gives his blues dozen pick from their catalog.
Over on Blind Pig check out the free mp3′s.
Then you can head over to Joe Bonamassa’s website and watch Bonamassa TV.
And don’t forget the Cardinal website to check out the ‘Countdown to Spring Training’ clock. Or you could pick up ringtones, wallpapers or register for a chance to purchase opening day tickets.
Manage to get Baby to sleep at 2:15 am and go collapse in bed.

Happy to be with me on the 4th of July…
Yesterday was the 4th of July and we did 4th of July-ish stuff. We swam in the pool, we cooked out.
Cooked out, not barbecued. Every time I turned on the tv yesterday I got the ‘all across America people will be barbecueing’ speel and then the film showed some guy throwing a burger on the grill. This is -NOT- barbecue. Barbecue involves sauces and rubs and slow cooking/basting. Tossing a piece of meat on the grill is -grilling-, not barbecue.
Having said that, we did not barbecue. (grin) We had burgers, smoked sausage and cold watermelon. Later we had ice cream. (essential for the 4th) Once it got dark, we hosed the front lawn down and Kahuna shot fireworks (we had some really cool ones this year) while the ‘Bit and I ran around with our sparklers.
I have a Cards game saved on Tivo I wanted to watch but Kahuna thought grilling and fireworks were enough ‘guy’ things for one day. (how can he not like baseball??)
I cut him some slack because he has been pretty guyish lately. His brother and sister-in-law are having a baby this fall and she told me they are naming her (the baby) Shelby. I tell Kahuna this and he gets this odd look on his face, then smiles and says “Oh cool, like the Mustang”.
*pounds head on desk*
Okay.
Gotta go, I have sparkler bits to clean up from the porch.

- Blurred…

I have been trying to write the review for Blurred, by San Francisco singer/songwriter Alex Wise for a few months now but can’t seem to finish it. This is difficult for me to say but I get about halfway through the process and find myself so homesick I just can’t continue. The past few years have been full [...] - Arc & Stones…

Now that Scooter is back sleeping nights I proclaim this ’dig myself out from under the mountain of un-reviewed music‘ week. Kicking off the week o’reviewing is Arc & Stones, the debut EP from Brooklyn band Arc & Stones. The guys are Dan Pellarin (vocals), Ben Cramer (guitar), Joe Doino (drums) and Eddy Bayes (bass). I had [...] - Telegraph Taboo…

So, I was in the mood for some blues and whoosh – blues appeared. Other people get coupons, bills and news updates in the mail while I get blues music. Cool new blues music in the form of the debut release Telegraph Taboo from the Chicago-based band Nick and the Ovorols. This is not a pretty album. The vocals on a few tracks [...] -
