Favorite Dodger Memories
“Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine
Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories”

Christmas Wrapping
(There is no rhyme or reason for this song title, except for the lyrics ‘get this winter over with!’ as we are looking forward to baseball, and baseball news. That, and I like it.)

But man, I still think them cats are crazy”
