Awesome ... congratulations to your folks! Heh ... my folks got a new car on Saturday. I had to drive them to the dealership to pick it up.

Remember the book that contrasted "fortunately" and "unfortunately"? Well, here is another contrast.... Unfortunately, a few of the people and businesses I've contacted about possible sponsorships have decided to NOT sponsor the show. So, I'm still looking for sponsors. I am NOT looking to make money; I don't want the sponsors to pay all of the fees ... just part of them. I have a few ideas for ways to get the companies' message(s) across ... and have a little fun at the same time. FORTUNATELY, I have the recordings that Stephen (tripleplate.com/carnuts.us) did of the radio shows ... part of April 6 and all of April 20 and 27. While I haven't decided on the best way to distribute copies ... if anyone is interested in receiving a FREE copy of any or all of these, please advise me.

Hmmm...not so sure I'd be thrilled about Chevy bringing the Monte Carlo back because they need some good PR...... *pauses* I'd just like to see it come back after sssoo many years away.

None of my MCs are show-stoppers. Each one has "blemishes" ... scratches, dents, dings, "beauty" parts missing, etc. ... and I don't claim to keep them 100% spic'n'span clean like I should. But ... each time a new "blemish" pops up ... a little part of me cringes.... Thursday of this week, a new "blemish" for the '87 MC LS "appeared". Somewhere between home and work, the passenger-side front wheel "hubcap" came off ... the one seen in this pic: http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort/newpics/DSC07667r8_jpg.html In a way, I feel lucky that I managed to go from October until May without losing any wheel covers, given the rough roads I travel between Elgin and Schaumburg. Still ... somehow, that doesn't make me feel much better ... heh. *sighs* Luckily, I have a spare cap, which I will put on at some future date, and the '87 MC LS will look more "whole" again sometime soon.... But, now I want to get a whole set ... "just in case" . Sssooo...anyone else find themselves frustratingly disappointed by "blemishes"?

For nearly 30 years, "play ball" on an early-May Friday night in Elgin has signaled the start of another softball season for my Dad's city softball team. Friday night, May 11, was no different. Unfortunately, Dad's team lost 20-5. Elgin Ind/Jake's Pizza started off well enough ... scoring 3 runs after 2 were out in the bottom of the 1st. But, a 6-run 4th and an 11-run 5th for the visitors wiped that away. Meanwhile, for the last few years, "play ball" on an early-May Tuesday night in Elgin has meant the start of the softball season for my brother-in-law's co-ed team. Tuesday night, May 8, they started the season with a 16-1 win. Tempco scored 2 in the 1st, 3 in the 3rd on an inside-the-park HR, 7 in the 4th and 4 in the 5th. I love baseball ... and I love softball just as much [at least in softball, errors aren't tabulated and broadcast to the world every day]. I love keeping the runs by inning, and sometimes, I'll do a little "play by play" in the stands. Anyone else either play softball or have a "team to watch" during the spring/summer/fall months or just enjoy keeping all sorts of statistics?
