I like apple schnapps. Berentzen ApfelKorn is a particularly welcome digestif at my dinner parties. We don't sit around chugging it, but it's smooth to sip on when we move the conversation from the table to the living room.- HudsonHawk

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
The fanciest restaurant I ever went to as a kid was Red Lobster, and they had paper placemats. It was a HUGE deal to eat out as a kid. We'd occasionally stop at a fish stand near the beach, and we would have stuff picked up and brought back to the house such as a sandwiches and devil crabs...- HudsonHawk

I'd like to think what's going on at the urinals is pretty straight forward and unimaginative. If not, I don't want to know any more.- HudsonHawk

Watching sports and playing them are not mutually exclusive. I still play around 80-100 baseball games a year.- HudsonHawk

Spring Training starts late February. Can't have football still going on. Although I must say, I'd embrace the idea of not having football in August in Texas.- HudsonHawk

Opening Day has always been early April. "Back in the day", the World Series typically ended in mid-October. We've had five World Series that have lasted to early November. In effect, the extended schedule and extra postseason rounds have extended the season 2-3 weeks. I don't find that...- HudsonHawk

Back to "Major League Baseball" as a trade name...the term "Major Leagues" was established in the National Agreement of 1903. The Commissioners office was established with the "Major League Agreement" in 1921 (now known as the "Major League Constitution"). I believe the establishment of "Major...- HudsonHawk

Playoffs? Playoffs? As for expanding...back when your team was competing for a spot against seven other teams, I get it. But now you're competing for a spot against 14 other teams. I have no problems with expanding the number of teams in the POSTSEASON as well. I still think there's meaning...- HudsonHawk

I am not one of those who thinks there is too much baseball being played. Probably another reason I will also be rounded up and shot under Lizzie the Great's reign.- HudsonHawk

Terms Which Have Disappeared
MLB has always referred to the regular season as the "championship season". Anything played beyond the championship season was considered "postseason". Major league teams began staging "postseason" games as early as 1884. It was not referred to as "playoffs" because it was typically just an...- HudsonHawk

They are officially "periods". But it's kind of like how I cringe when people refer to the baseball "playoffs". They don't have "playoffs" in baseball...they have "the postseason".- HudsonHawk

You know you are getting old when:
I think they did some good stuff. Nothing wrong with a fun little pop tune. I think a couple of them, particularly Nesmith who was a songwriter, and Peter Tork, who was an actual serious musician, got frustrated at times. But that's what they signed up to be...actors portraying a band in a...- HudsonHawk

You know you are getting old when:
Did the vendor say something to you? If not, I wouldn't necessarily think the vendor thought that of you. Dogs can't regulate heat the way we do, and they can get dehydrated in a hurry. I'd have thought "now there's a guy who's taking care of his dog." Of course, I have soft spot for...- HudsonHawk

Can you wear your hat in YOUR vehicle?
I think it's a requirement that cars sold in Texas have that much ladies' headroom...not for hats, but for their big hair. I can wear a hat in my pick-em-up, but it's harder to get in and out through the door with one on my head, so I usually take it off getting in. Of course, I'm over 6...- HudsonHawk

So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.
I had to explain this to my wife last year when we had a front porch built on to our house. Our deed restrictions place the building setback so many feet from the property line. My wife looks at it and says "we've got plenty of room." I had to explain "no honey, our property doesn't go all the...- HudsonHawk

This is the way it is at my "place" out in the country. My property extends across the county road, and there is an easement of so many feet wide on which there is a county maintained blacktop and a flood ditch. But at my house in "the city", my property line is about 15 feet from the edge of...- HudsonHawk
