Wisdom for the Day

Picture of the Day

My wonderful daughter Elizabeth and my new granddaughter, Scarlett, on the banks of the Tennessee River in their beautiful hometown of Chattanooga.  The river runs through the middle of this old southern river / railroad / mountain city steeped in Civil War history on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains.

Wyndham Championship 2012

Here I am working 'shotlink' at the Wyndham Championship greenside on hole nine.  This is a great way to spend a day volunteering at a great golf tounament in Greensboro NC.  I do it every year.

Al Smith and Babe Ruth........As I Head to APIC Convention

I am headed out to Columbus Ohio tomorrow for the 2012 National Convention of the American Political Item Collectors (APIC).  It will be a wonderful time of visiting with collector friends, educational breakout sessions, and numerous displays, exhibits, and vendor tables of great American political memorabilia.

The picture above combines two of my great passions, baseball (Yankees baseball especially), and political  collecting (especially Democatic political collecting).  In the picture, Babe Ruth visits with New York Democratic Governor Alfred E. Smith, for whom Ruth campaigned extensively in 1928 when Smith ran against Republican Herbert Hoover for the presidency.  Great photo.
