Default Leon's Debut as an editor

I think Leon can do one or two more stories at the very least (Trucker Boy comes to mind)

who knows, maybe soon he'll be as famous as Al Rosen

Default Wow! Leon!

My lasting memory of a yard sale was when a woman actually stole a pair of my wife's shoes, ran to her car, and got away.

Philosophically speaking, I guess I would have been better off if my wife had still been in the shoes when they drove away...but, I digress.

On the other hand, is this guy finding Cobb, Mathewson, and Wagner.

"...someday, the odds will even out."

I'm still waiting...

I write a column there and didn't even realize Leon was my boss for a day.

Though I did notice an unexplained dock in my paycheck and a mop and bucket outside my office door with a note "Your duties now include janitor."

I didn't complain because I figured I could use the exercise and I only got the job in the first place due to nepotism. The main editor and I are both Green Bay Packers fans.

Now if someone could only tell me how to turn on the mop. I don't see a chord, so I assume it rubs on batteries.

I grew up on a 2-1/2 acre yard in Wisconsin. My dad said after mowing the yard with a push mower several times in 90 degree heat, he decided to buy a riding lawn mower.

I meant versus just letting the auction play out. Was a good move on your part, great find!

When you said "Lesson of the day: always work the deal off ebay.", I didn't get that is what you were inferring. As I said, I would have preferred doing it on ebay. It wasn't my call.

Yeah, I wasn't advocating doing 5 figure deals at your local Denny's.
