Remember stamps? With little fanfare, the U.S. Postal Museum in DC once displayed John Lennon's childhood stamp collection. More than 550 stamps! (Just like everyone's childhood stamp collection, they've now packed it away.) #JohnLennon #TheBeatles

Loves the 4-6-3 and the serial comma. Writer'ish person. 💙 for Orioles, REM, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith (not necessarily in that order). Teacher of yoga. Player of guitar. Feeder of cats. Fiendishly hopeful.
The great University of North Dakota Fighting Hawks are feeling a little left out after being ignored by Sen. Schmitt yesterday. #ProudAlum

My yoga students were doing a new breathwork and, for a moment, everyone breathing together sounded just like Laurie Anderson’s “O Superman.” When I told them that, I realized no one knew who she was. I have corrected that oversight. youtu.be/Vkfpi2H8tOE?...

Writing once every four months or so is not a particularly heavy lift. But yes, there will be baseball, cats, and Bob Dylan. Basically, all you need in a well-rounded day. thebaseballbloggess.com/2026/05/23/p...
Pennies For My Thoughts
On November 12, 2025, the U.S. Mint made its very last penny. (I so wanted to title this post “Stop Making Cents” but even I have my pun limits. Associated Press, ABC News, The Wall Street Journal,…

You should probably listen to this song every day. For ballast. And, this acoustic version with Patti Smith and Fred "Sonic" Smith is one of the best. youtu.be/yEX_f4_5Yio?...

Saw this pylon wearing an adorable pylon hat out on the road. So of course now I'm listening to Pylon, one of my favorite bands. Thank you for your service, pylon with the pylon hat. @pylongurl.bsky.social
The St. Paul Saints have unveiled the name of their 2026 ball pig. Chat BLT triumphed over Pigachu, OnlyHams and Toby Lardenhire.
When an algorithm serves up Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant" I think it's being a bit presumptuous to think I have 19 minutes available for it.
I ordered some guitar strings a while back and they've been stuck in Bristol, TN for ages and I'm thinking the ghost of Mother Maybelle Carter has stolen them from me. 🎸

As I get ready to teach my first Yoga class of 2026, I want you to know there are always spots available if Patti Smith and Lenny Kaye happen by. (I might adjust that cobra alignment tho -- just a little.)

Bob Dylan. Baseball. A convenience store at midnight. My heart in still life.
Nobozos@bozoboy66.bsky.social · 11mo agoBob Dylan reads a Baseball Weekly in an empty convenience store. It means nothing. It means everything.
Thanksgiving means just one thing -- I'm in the kitchen (with the Tombstone Blues). Grateful to have Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited on the hi-fi while the cookin' cooks.
If Chicago beats Milwaukee tonight, every city sending a ballclub to the MLB championships is either Canadian or a Democratic-run hellscape rife with antifa violence and interspecies copulation. It gives an Oriole fan hope knowing how poorly our president speaks of Baltimore. Wait 'til next year.

Portable waterproof tents for baseball in 1900? Domes before there were domes. “The latest novelty is baseball under canvas. The clubs carry their own parks. … The Toronto club won’t consider the suggestion.” - The Toronto Star 10/4/1900 No Rogers Centre for them!
Can I get the Orioles, Rimbaud, a bad double date, and one of the best bands of the 1980s into a single post? Sure, why not? thebaseballbloggess.com/2025/09/18/s...

Having the smoke alarm squeal because it's "readjusting itself" is not how I expected the morning to start. (The cats have now stuffed themselves inside the box springs, which, TBH ... is not a bad idea.)
This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.
