Morning, all.
Been a long time since I posted, but want to try to post more regularly.
Last October I had about a four-week span where I lost three people close to me, two to illness and one to accident. That combined with health issues and, frankly, a recurrence of my clinical depression problems kept me out of the loop here. I occasionally lurked but didn't feel up to posting anything. Workwise, I am planning on this being the last semester at the college, barring some miraculous benevolence from my boss. I still like the actual working with the students, but, due to either a personal character flaw of my own or the effects of being ignored by those I trusted and admired most at the college, my heart is no longer in the work. I have been there for 28 years now and am officially the worker with the most seniority in the entire floor, counting bosses/supervisors/etc. but feel like a dinosaur rather than a valued employee.
Annnnnnnyyyway, Thanks for the thoughts and emails from you guys recently (Dan, I did see yours but flaked on responding til now, sorry). I am working on getting my head together as best as I can and plan to stop by more often.
As far as Jim Fregosi's passing, it is oddly heartbreaking. I looked up to him a ton and he was my second favorite player of all time, edged slightly by Rod Carew. As a kid, I got to meet Jim and get my picture with him. Just a couple years ago, I sent a copy of the pic to him and he personalized it for me. Those who did TTM know that Jim was among the most responsive, generous signers of all. If you want to see my Fregosi collection, click on the link below (assuming it still works). RIP Jim, you will be missed.

Alex Pnw. I'm sitting in the archives for the lab I am interning and you made me really really hungry! Was planning on staying til 3. Though might have to leave sooner to get food...
I'm hungry getting it prepped up already tooI hope the internship has been going good Darren!
[MENTION=2420]JackLondon[/MENTION] Andrew its nice to see you post again. That picture of you and Fregosi is great. Sadly, he was one that I never got around to sending TTM. If I recall, you were collecting signatures from the key players of Watergate, or am I thinking of someone else?
Yep, I still do that. Have added a couple recently and will scan them soon.
Do you have any need for a John Dean auto? If so, send me your address I'll get it out to you

Thanks for the offer, but I have that one (and the Woodward and Bernstein, too) from that set. Neat cards with nice on-card autos.
