Obituary section of yesterday's Honolulu Advertiser - making sure I'm not in there. Episode 2 of The Pacific starts in, like, three minutes. I'm outta here.

1. No cards on the desk. Most recent purchase is already in the safety deposit box.
2. Grateful Dead - 7/15/71 Austin, TX (recent pick-up from Dead.net) 3. Resurrecting Candrakirti: Disputes in the Tibetan Creation of Prasangika (highly recommended - some of the best Indo-Tibetan intellectual history I have read in a while.  )JimB

Gulp!
Howdy there Jim B!
We just have to get together again for a coffe and a "show and tell". I will share my observations and insight from John Kruk's "I Ain't no Athlete, Lady, I'm a Ballplayer" while you explain your book to me...I ain't worthy!

1) An Old Judge Mike Dorgan. One of those N172's that's supposed to look like an action shot, ie he's sliding, but really looks much more like he's lying on his stomach because he threw his back out (think Larry Bird 1992 playoffs).
2) Don't have an IPod, but I have rigged a Victrola with ropes and duct tape so I can listen to Gregorian chants when I jog. (As I write this I have The Violent Femmes "Add it Up" on the headphones). 3) "The First Tycoon," a biography about Cornelius Vanderbilt. Good read. Just finished a book about Teapot Dome by Laton McCartney, also a good read. Last edited by Anthony S.; 03-21-2010 at 11:19 PM. Reason: That bastard we know as spelling.

Cards on desk.. none, my wife would throw them out if i left them laying around... last ones i bought were UFC cards..... they would be out if possible
Ipod- right now i have Billboards #1 song since the beginning of the charts back inthe late 50's about 1200 songs i think, and then about 600 or so 80's hair metal songs (Ozzy, Motley Crue, stuff like that) New ludacris album I belong to a music board like this one, get anything i ever wanted via download. Reading- only thing i am reading right now is the classifieds cause i am looking for work, So if anyone buy Oilfield or hydraulic seals, let me know, i can help ya out! Otrher then that most of my reading is done online... Just read the Inside T206 centennial last night, done by one of the members with insight from Ted Z. Makes me feel really clueless about older cards.

Re : David Gray...
Brian - Nice change of pace post... You mentioned David Gray and guess what ? Sitting on my desk is 2 Tix to David Gray at the Ryman here in Nashville in a few weeks. (I am stoked!) Now onto your 3 questions :
What cards are on your desk : T210-8 Molesworth which is getting packaged up and on its way to Jim Rivera What's on your iPOD : CCR - Have you ever seen the rain ? (Just listened to it most recently) and of course 2,327 other songs! Whatcha reading: False Economy - Alan Beattie The Greatest Game Ever Played in Dixie (1908 Nashville Vols) - John Simpson

1) An E103 Lajoie that I just picked up in a trade and T206s of Bresnahan and Willis that I just sold on eBay.
2) All kinds of stuff, but Stereolab, Bjork and The Arcade Fire were the last three groups to play during yesterday's workout shuffle. 3) Andrew Sullivan's "Daily Dish" blog on The Atlantic's website.
