Baseball In Canada

   There were plenty of E-bay orders that arrived today, 6 in all. Two were Charlie Brown and Snoopy trading cards, two were World's Fair postcards. One was the Yellowstone ad with an Emerson Hough quote on it. Finally, a first day cover honoring baseball in Canada. It was from 1988, the 150th anniversary of the first game, in that nation. I liked seeing the logos for both Canadian teams at the time, the Expos and Blue Jays. What I liked just as much was the hockey stamps on the envelope, it helps with my stamp collection. The trading cards arrived from Great Britain, Charlie Brown playing baseball and Snoopy in a patriotic outfit.
   At the comedy club, I liked how I could speak about more than just comedy with one of them tonight. It was the opera singer, after the show. We discussed music after he told me about being in a band. He did the cooking with flax seeds joke. The neck tattoo comic did the 'show of guns' joke and his dog's name, a pit bull. The 'Extra murder' comic did one about Arnold Schwarzenegger in a movie where he goes under cover. The Mason City native did one about bank employees asking about plans for the weekend.  The Worthington native did hear how I listened to his CD over the weekend, and did the 'El Camino therapist' joke. The bathtub comic did one about how Valleyfair should be open year round. The Tetris comic did one about decades having wars and sex, I liked it when he said something about 'stop having fun'. The bus fare comic did one about somebody buying cat food and condoms. Another was about fans of the music group Insane Clown Posse. The sub teacher did one about going to visit his uber-religious parents for Easter. The school bouncer did the one about the woman having a 100th birthday party at his show.
