FOOD FOR THOUGHT Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves. - Walter Anderson BASEBALL QUOTE OF THE WEEK "You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all.” - Earl Weaver SMOOSH'S REASONS TO CELEBRATE SEPTEMBER September 9 is . . . . . Teddy Bear Day September 10 is . . . .
