The eagle has landed in Baltimore
And by “eagle,” I refer to the most, uh, interesting rental car I’ve ever had the privilege of driving. The kind of vehicle you’d see at Spanky’s Used Car Lot. The air vents didn’t vent. And there was a bit of an odor.
Never mind.
I drove to Baltimore so I could stop along the way and visit my 3½-year-old niece (Little A) and 21-month-old nephew (Big A). My sister and brother-in-law were there, too, which was nice.
So the jalopy and I were a block from the hotel when I saw a cluster of people on the corner. About eight or 10 of them looked like they haven’t worked out in a while – and by “a while” I mean “ever” – and were holding Yankees memorabilia. One was signing. The one was Johnny Damon, who appeared to be by himself. It was, like, 10 p.m. Nice guy, that Johnny Damon.
As I parked, I smiled for two reasons: The idea of valeting the Maybad and the anticipation of blogging. I promise to post more often as soon as I learn how to do so. Same with answering your comments.
In mere hours, we’ll actually have baseball to talk about! Hours! Let’s hope weather isn’t an issue. Torrential rains are in the forecast. But there is hope. The local TV weather guy just said that if it’s your “trash day” tomorrow you might have some trouble with your garbage bins in the morning because of thunderstorms – seriously – but the bad stuff should clear in time for the game.
Let’s hope so.

Hi Kim…yes hope the weather holds up. Wish I could send some hawaiian sunshine but we haven’t faired well with sunshine either. I am soooooooooo excited and hope we can get it started today! Go Yankees!!!!!(
kim, you brought the sunshine. Then michael kay got on the air and it started pouring. i guess that means we need more airtime for kim! go yankees from big fan from iowa.
Thanks for this. Great idea to follow for Yanks fans–I’m sure it’s alot of extra work but what an unprecedented season this will be for sure!!! Thanks Kim…YAY Yankee Baseball!!!

Hey Kim! Good luck with the blog! I feel your pain about the bad rental experience.. I recently drove from Long Island to Washington DC and my rental broke down in Delaware…
Keep up the great work on YES and on the radio! LETS GO YANKEES!!!! 🙂
Hi Kim, this is a crazy question but I really really love makeup and was wondering if I could please ask you questions about it? Do you wear makeup if so how often and what kind do you use? Do you like makeup and wearing it? Also do you have a makeup artist that does your makeup and if so what is it like and what do you think of it? Is it ok and do you mind if I continue to ask you about makeup and if so will you answer? Please reply and answer back to me.
