Good Luck (With Your Future)

Uncle Gordon's Barn
Westport, NY
September 2004

September has flown by me with little consistancy in keeping up with my daily posting duties. I'm hoping that I'll have better luck in the future (it's coming on). Or at least in October.

The 1969 World Championship New York Mets
Of New York Town

As The 2006 New York Mets, once again, win the National League East Division. We don't care (nor should I even have to mention) that it took them 18 years to repeat this feat—let us just remember what happens two (as in 1969 and 1986) of the last four times that they have won their (1969, 1973, 1986, 1988) Division Championship.

All the World's a Fair

Photograph Date: World's Fair 1939

If you had any relatives living in the New York/New Jersey area back in '39, you no doubt have some of these gems laying around the house. If your fortunate enough to have a relative that's still alive that went to the Fair, sit down and ask them to tell you about it. I wonder if the future back then lived up to the hype. What do you think?
