Just trying to catch up here.  Lots has been going on this week so I'll just touch on a few things.

First, baysbawl bizness: I'm not happy about the breakoff in contract talks with JayBay.  That? Is worrisome.   ::::clings:::   As for My Little Guy, word around the media is that he's working out at the Mets training complex in the Dominican Republic, so it sounds like he may have a new home soon.

( Cut for blathering... )

On a totally different topic, on Wednesday I had a short but sweet visit with my maternal aunt and one of the other cousins in that generation.  They flew into Asheville and stayed overnight at my mom's before heading to a "senior generation" cousins' reunion in Nashville for a few days.  It was great to see them, as it's been a couple of years and will be a couple more before I see them again at the big family reunion.

Last but certainly not least, HAPPY BIRTHDAY (#32) to my cousin Andre', who is currently on a Caribbean cruise that he treated himself to.  It's also birthday #38 for my cousin Mark out in California (the classical guitarist who I mentioned here a few months back).

Okay, enough blathering for me.  Off to work on e-mails.  Hope all my friends have had a lovely weekend!   :::waves:::
