Philadelphia Phillies: Roy Halladay Looked Good Today

I have been very concerned about Roy Halladay since last season. Seeing him throw so well today in Miami was great. Plus, he earned his 200th career win.

 'Doc' is someone who gives his all, all the time. He clearly has been  having difficulty performing his physical job as a middle-aged person. That's something every human being who is fortunate to live into his, or her 30s can relate to.  

 Continued success is wished to one of the great pitchers of this era. As long as he's able to harness his existing talent he should be able to pitch effectively this season and possibly beyond.

I intentionally used Amazon.com to publish my first ebook: 
Fast Fiction and Other Stuff. That platform is the number 1 eBook publishing site in the world. That decision has since proven to be worthwhile in many ways.

Writing and properly editing a book is hard work. Formatting it to fit the digital screen is hardly a creative endeavor. Promoting a book in many forms takes persistence and skill. 

I'm proud of my tome and of the response it has earned to-date. I encourage anyone who has the ability to write and to publish their own work to do so. 

There have been, are and will always be many great stories to tell in our world. Make yours one of them.

Here is a special feature that highlights many of our collective childhood memories:  When Baseball Cards were King.

I always find myself thinking about those bygone days spent with elementary school friends and family members when the baseball season is being played. Don't ever forget that part of who were are today and part of who we will always be, is forever tied to who we were way back when.
