Guilty pleasures

Hello again. It's been a while.

A quick post while at Freddie's baseball practice, where I just heard the term "double steal":

1. Cleaning out the basement - found a whole shoebox of cassettes. These are classics, containing the best music from the 1987-1991 era :
Extreme III - pornograffiti
Traveling Wilburys
Biz Markie
and of course
Rod Stewart "Rhythm of my Heart"

Just great stuff. Too bad no one owns a cassette player any more.

1a. There is one cassette I found that will be kept. I found the cassette recording of Steve and I calling an inning of a random Tribe game from 1992. I think we were playing Texas and Nolan Ryan was pitching .

But we didn't do the recording in our voices - we did our impressions of Tom Hamilton , the play by play man , and Herb Score, the color guy. I bet you all can guess who was who.

2. Is it bad that I love "operation Repo" on Tru TV ? Yes, of course, it is terrible tv. I guess that is what makes it good.

3. What's wrong with kids today ? I took F and W to Kroger. We went by the Hostess stand. Fruit pies !!!!! I was jumping up and down.
The kids? Not interested at all. They looked at me like I was from Mars. How do kids nowadays not go crazy over those fruit pies ?

Fruit pies??? I've maybe had 2 in my entire life. I think your kids have better taste than you...

Love the fruit pie. Apple is the way to go, but will also settle for cherry. I think they stopped making them in 1997, but the supply at 7-11s refuses to dwindle.

So we got one commenter who hates the Hostess fruit pies....

and one who like the pies with chunks of fruit in them.

Me? Of course - I love the competely articifial pies with just the colorful "goop" in them. The Lemon pies. Or Strawberry - just the red gel inside the pastry. Wow! Was that good eatin'.
