Loving these learnings and observations. Keep 'em coming! And: Kaline was one of the greats I always admired from the era before big money came into the game. Reminded me of when I got to meet my idol Bobby Murcer, who was similarly modest and classy.

Good luck with the move! And in checking out the Billy Joel video I realized how long it's been since I've seen photos of him--I wouldn't have recognized him, except for that voice, of course!

Good luck with the rest of the move, Al!

One of the many things I admire about you is your deep well of quotations. You always seem to have a perfect one at hand.

I love searching for them. It helps connect me to the past, and ground me in that it’s all happened and been documented before.

I do too! Years ago, I created a list of quotations relevant to a specific topic; a plugin displayed them in random order on the website's home page (if memory serves; it may have been on every page). I wanted to set that up again when I relaunched my personal website, but I think the plugin was either gone or didn't work. Alas.
