Jeremiah's baseball team pictures arrived Wednesday night. They are, well, adorable to his parents. And this year, in addition to the team picture and the wallet size photos, there are Baseball Cards featuring Jeremiah Alomoto. So, if you think it might be a collectors item someday, give us a call and ask for your autographed card. Because we ordered 8, but ended up getting 32 of them. Do we even know 32 people? Yes, but not 32 people who like baseball.
The Cubs are playing tonight on WGN. Looks like they will win. Good. That will justify my sitting on my happy behind and watching sports yet another night. First at Oakdale where Jeremiah's team played, and later at home watching the Cubs.
The furniture and stuff rearranging will have to wait until...Saturday....
CUBS Win! CUBS Win! Go Cubs Goooo... etc....Did you know that Steve Goodman wrote that song? Yeah! How 'bout that!
If you don't know who Steve Goodman was, then you should review your materials for the Moving to Illinois Entrance Exam. What? There was no exam? What the heck! They let just anyone in here these days. Maybe we need some Arizona Attitude here....(just kidding).
And if you no longer live in Illinois but don't know who Steve Goodman was, then you should not be let back into the state until such time as you can write a 500 word essay on why he was such an amazing guy. Here's a hint: great friend of John Prine. Yes, I'm giving preferential hints to my parents...
So, someday when Jeremiah is a great ball player, and Sierra is writing fabulous song lyrics, someone will blog about how they have a 2010 AJB card of Jeremiah Alomoto age 9, and Sierra's song lyrics about the greatest ball player of all time.

Well, I want one of those cards AND one of the pictures too if you can spare them.
I don't know who Steve Goodman is, nor do I really care. I know who Benny Goodman was and he was great. Even greater then John Prine to me but maybe not your dad.

I KNEW STEVE GOODMEN FOR INFO ON ONE
OF JOHN PRINE'S ALBUM COVERS.
Kim:
Great to see your warmly humorous reference to a Moving to Illinois Entrance Exam and your invocation of Steve Goodman's "Go, Cubs, Go." Goodman often doesn't get his due. You might be interested in my 800-page biography, "Steve Goodman: Facing the Music." The book delves deeply into the genesis, context and effects of "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request" and its semi-sequel, "Go, Cubs, Go."
You can find out more at my Internet site (below). If you're not already familiar with the book, I hope you find it of interest. 'Nuff said.

I definitely want a signed Jeremiah Alomoto baseball card. AND I think you should send Clay Eals some hummus.
