cliff clavin

i'm wondering if cliff clavin, the know it all mailman from 'cheers', delivers my mail. the past few days some of it isn't in the box but in the rack above the mailboxes. it's a joke i've done before. don't know why, though it is a smaller mailbox than my last home.
     i found the '60 minutes' feature about baseball player albert pujols, on youtube. i like baseball a lot and i like interviews so it was good to see it. the feature reminds me of seeing the movie 'sugar', about a dominican baseball player. i've read articles before about baseball in the D.R., like when i was having an oil change done at a jiffy lube. it was said recruiting players from there goes back to the 1950s, since Cuba had went communist. also hopes that it's the sport of choice in a poor nation where there are few options, besides working in the sugar cane fields or making clothes.
    i had a midday dental appointment, the hygienist is very interested in me doing comedy but we do a refresher course each time about how all of my family lives in iowa. was also interested in how i'm dating somebody, hard to understand how people are so impressed with this. seems a little hypocritical when people want to talk to you more, do more things with you, when you're part of a couple. you're the same person, why does having somebody on your arm make a person more attractive to others and more in demand? i stayed late at work to get caught up on things and to make up some time due to being at the appointment. shouldn't have to take shorter lunches for the rest of the week. i was reading a Time magazine article while waiting in the dentist office, the one about the 150th anniversary of the Civil War beginning. it said 'still fighting the civil war' and it interested me, as a history major. didn't finish it before i was called, liked how they offered it to me so i could finish the article later.
