Personal thoughts, opinions, observations and musings. Saturday, April 28, 2012. Happy birthday, Lise! We had a fun evening a few days ago when granddaughter Lise celebrated her third birthday. Her older sister did a great job of letting Lise have the spotlight on her special day and her younger sister, well, she slept through most of it. Chocolate birthday cake and ice cream was a big hit. Baby sister woke up in time to take in some of the festivities. Ready to help with any hard words. McFarland, 2007)...

http://newsconference.blogspot.com/2012/02/auto-show-outing.html
Personal thoughts, opinions, observations and musings. Sunday, February 12, 2012. Madame X and I decided to take a brief Sunday outing and visit the Dubuque New Car Dealers. Auto Show at the Grand River Center, and we invited the older two granddaughters to come along. Those are the granddaughters at left and right. The popcorn machine at the concession stand was out of order, but a soft pretzel. Was an acceptable snack substitute. This was the only BMW at the show Pop might be able to afford! Currently,...

For various topics of personal interest, including the name Ray Schalk. However, about the last place I expected to see Schalk's name pop up was in a story related to the Super Bowl. Yet, there he is, mentioned in a Major League Baseball feature. About ex-Major Leaguers who once played in this season's Super Bowl cities. I have been a n...

Ray Schalk: October 2010
http://rayschalk.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Dedicated to Raymond William Schalk, Hall of Fame catcher. For the Chicago White Sox (1912-28). Sunday, October 03, 2010. Schalk honored by Litchfield. While researching my Ray Schalk biography, I observed to Litchfield civic leader Bill Dees that Litchfield is the boyhood home of a major league Hall of Famer but has nothing to inform visitors of this. As local awareness of Schalk increased with release of my book, Dees was able to raise money to have a sign erected at the Litchfield city limits. Retrosh...
