Live only a few miles from the K, in a ZIPcode where every game is on FSN. Scratch that we moved on June 20 to our new house less than a mile from Castaways Marina at Smithville Lake. Ain't that cool?

Hobby musician (blues guitar) with my hobby musician soulmate wife Wendy (she's a bass guitar player). Sometimes we like to play Cajun and Zydeco. Sometimes a little "classic" rock.

I love baseball, I love my Royals like George Pottymouth Brett loves his Royals. Wendy, she's more than indifferent but not such a huge fan.

Baseball has marked my life from birth. My grandpaw took me to see A's games when I was still in diapers. I don't remember any of it for sure, I think the memories I have of it are built on stories told to me about it and pictures that I was shown. My mom's best friend through grade school married Campy Campineris before my mom married my dad. Grandpaw had pictues taken of me with him and people like Satchel Paige, Big Joe Turner, Buck O'Neil, Buck Buchanan, Cab Calloway, Joe Garagiola, Yogi Berra the list goes on... See Grandpaw grew up as an Irish-Choctaw on Dago Hill in St Louis (he knew Garagiola and Berra's parents) before his dad ran off and his mom moved them to KC around 12th and Hardesty, he went to East High and learned how to play trombone in band and was a Union Musician in KC in the jazz heyday. He damn near raised me. there ya go.
