Sparks Of Insanity By Vinny "Bond" Marini Thursday, October 11, 2007 24 Of Your Sparks


Well...what a weird day and it seems that we have found how to get comments!

All we have to do s open the weirdness that is my brain and all y'all want to try and get into the darkness even more...

bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha

NO, it is not uncomfortable to go commando in jeans...it is liberating...sitting in an airport or in a meeting knowing we are free and no one knows...

Well, maybe they don't...we do not think anyone from work reads this..but if you are and you do..well..THERE YA GO...



SO, more personal info...a number of years ago while warming up on of my pitchers he threw a ball in the dirt and hit me directly on the big toe.

Toe broke...nail went KAPLOOEY...has always been a bit funky since...and then we got that fungus crap...tried everything...well my doctor suggested petroleum jelly and said it would take a year for the nail to grow out and it to be back to normal...well..man is he right...it already looks better...

OK, so it isn't the same as me swinging in my jeans .... LOL



The NY Yankees called a pitcher up to the majors this year. His name is Joba Chamberlain. He is a member of the Winnebago Indian tribe from Nebraska. He began the year in Single A and leaped to AA then AAA and then the majors and they treated him with kid-gloves, with special rules on how much he could pitch (The Joba Rules).

There was an article in the October 8th Sports Illustrated on this incredible young man. Yes, he is a baseball player, but this is a story about family and trials and overcoming and faith and love...

PLEASE spend 10-15 minutes reading it and be warned, grab the tissues first...and do not read it on an airplane like we did....

It is called "What Love's Got to Do with It" and it is wonderful!



Tried to help Mimi tonight who is struggling with internet problems...ARGGGGG...think we figured out what is wrong but not how to fix it...

Get Your PEACE GLOBE yet? Head on over to THE HOME OF THE PEACE GLOBE and grab one today...just scroll down for your options....

Plans are set...going to Baltimore to be with Matt the weekend of November 2nd... SO looking forward to it!

Hoping to get to the Zoo this weekend finally, but now that we mentioned it, the plans will probably fall through as they did last time.....

When Dad pointed us to the Bruce videos, he did make mention that Frank was still his fav... so today....The Chairman Of The Board...

A cool, nostalgic tale of a fleeting romance



Love means to commit oneself without guarantee,
to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce
love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith,
and whoever is of little faith is also of little love.
