Jet Planes, District Visits, and the Phillies...

Just one year ago, I was leaving on a jet plane to start my first visit as a candidate for International Director...now I sit in Sky Harbor airport waiting to board another plane and start my first "official" visit as an International Director.  That's right boys and girls, your faithful scribe is off to visit with District 16 (www.oktoastmasters.org) this weekend.  Boy do they ever have a jam packed time of corporate visits, media interviews, and plaque presentations...just some of the things that ID's do when we visit Districts.  So it is off to the races...promise I'll post when I can.

On another note, congratulations to the Phillies on their win in the Fall Classic.  I would have loved to see this go to seven games, but such is life.

More later from the road...

An Open Letter to Bud Selig...

                                                        October 28, 2008

Dear Bud,

Please admit that you made a mistake...admit that you were wrong.  The players NEVER should have taken the field for Game 5...you made a bad call by not postponing the game before it started.  If you do continue to make up rules as we go along, maybe you should consider letting the teams know...I swear I could hear Upton's hamstring snap while he was hydroplaning around the bases last night.

                                                            Sincerely,

                                                            Tim the Disgusted Baseball Fan

p.s.: I sure am glad the the Red Sox aren't a part of this cluster-flub!
