Next Up --- Davenport Iowa!



Oh Boy! Here I go.....another trip!!!

This is a glorious road trip (not balloons) to the enchanted "Quad Cities" area staying two nights in delightful Davenport, Iowa, home of the Quad City "River Bandits" minor league baseball team. They are a single-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1989 Jim Edmonds played for the Quad City Angels, a former incarnation of the team, and somehow seemed to go relatively unnoticed.

This being my birthday week I will be doing some celebrating....just how remains to be seen. I will be meeting Gene there so anything is possible.

As an update to my earlier posts....I am now the proud owner of a building lot in New Mexico. If you were a turtle or a snail you might consider it a ranch but I have to admit, at 1/2 acre it is a pretty small spread. My plan is to hold on to it for a while and then build a house and move out to the ranch in a year or two.
