- Arena Football League cancels 2009 season:
During the late 1980's through the mid 1990's I became a big fan of the Arena Football League. Before I became a big fan of Fantasy Football, I considered giving up the NFL permanently. This was not because I thought the AFL was superior to traditional outdoor football, only because I have been fed up with the major league professional athlete since about 1988. The AFL was minor league football with a unique twist. I will sadly miss not being able to watch any AFL this season. I hope the league and it's history is not lost forever. - Billy Ripken - Finally Comes Clean:
It has been 20 years since Fleer supposedly accidently released the famous baseball card, which I have. Billy Ripken finally tells the whole story about the bat and the picture on the 1989 Fleer card. - Geocaching:
Geocaching is the act of using GPS devices to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors. I have always wanted to try this, now with the iPhone and a very cool Geocacheing iPhone application I can do just that. Seems like a cool activity to do with the kids, so I am going to give it a try.
