Hi! How you doing? Arrived back in RI Monday after a fine weekend in Arlington, VA. Arrived there Fri. April 2nd, out to dinner with Joe, Anne and Katie. Sat. a pick nick in Tuckahoe park. Sat night we baby sat with Katie, Anne and Joe went out on the town for their sixth Anniversary. Sunday we did the Cherry Blossoms at 7am and there were thousands of people there with us. Yard work the rest of the day. Sun night dinner at Jim and Jane’s. Great time playing with Katie with all 4 grand parents spoiling her at once. Great food great time.

New beers from the Arlington Dailey’s. From Clipper City Brewery in Baltimore, MD, a Heavy Seas Pale Ale and a Heavy Seas Gold Ale. From Christian Moerlein Brewery in Cincinnati, OH. a Emancipator Doppelbock and a Friend of an Irishman Stout. A new one from our friends at Yuengling a Bock Beer. From Sherwood Forest Brewing in Marlborough, MA. a Friars Belgian Style White Ale and a Sheriffs IPA, from Sweet Water Brewing in Atlanta, GA. a Georgia Brown and a 420 Extra Pale Ale. From Abita Brewing in Abita Springs, LA. a Red Ale.

Are we broke from the health Care Plan Yet? Where did all this fricken water come from? When did North Providence became Dodge City? Who ya picking for Governor? Is Joe Garrity still available? If you get tossed as a Senator can you get elected as Governor? Caprio is my guy but what the hell do I know? The Mayor as US Rep?
Who’s in that race? Is Don Carcieri meaner than Dick Chaney? Who is buying those new Toyotas? Had to use up all my ?s before they expired!

Other beers picked up in Florida. From Primo Brewing and Malting Co. in Honolulu, HI. a Island Lager. From those nice people at Shiner Texas a Kosmos Reserve.

On the porch upon our arrival home found the following from Phil Howell. From Ballast Point Brewing in San Diego, CA. a 22 oz. Sculpin IPA. From Harpoon Brewing in Boston, MA. a Leviathan Imperial Red. And from those crazies at Flying Dog a Raging Bitch Belgian Style IPA.

Baseball News: The last two weeks flew by as we had visitors right up till the last 3 games. Did not get into any major trouble. Stayed in Right Field for remainder of games. Ticket taker only once more. Tom the bad tooth ticket taker called in sick when he saw that I was assigned there. Got to relieve all the other ushers once the game started. so I got a taste of every position. Have been invited back for next year by Tracee with a guarantee of all games as an usher! Will keep my options open as I have an offer to go to the Red Sox. The O’s will have their new park next year. The Sox the year after. Sarasota is a much better local than FT. Myers. But if I could be the usher for the Green Monster Seats at the new Mini Fenway that might be fun. Decisions! Decisions!

Been working in the BBHOF gardens for the last 4 days and things appear to be about 2 to 3 weeks ahead of last year. That could slow down if the weather turns cold.

THE 2010 BBHOF DUSTING OF THE BOTTLES WILL BE SATURDAY JULY 3rd AT 6PM. That date as always was determined by availability of the Arlington Daileys. Fireworks were procured in South Carolina. New gardens have been dug. The Kobe beef is ageing. The lobsters have been requested. Yuengling will be featured. The police detail is set. Parking will be in the south lot. Entertainment TBA.

I must go now to work in the BBHOW. Have about 30 bottles from the winter to enshrine and about a dozen six pack art pieces to go up on the ceiling. The O’s are a terrible base ball team.

Enjoy Little Eva

Hi! How you doing? Free the Killer Whale! Put the trainers back in the water! Good for Canada! It must suck, living next door to us eh! Now you and hockey go away for 4 more years! Patrick and Link never had a real job! I am the worst golfer in Sarasota! Soldiers are still dying over there! I buy a Camry when the Head Jap falls on his sword! Shelter Harbor is a good flick! I found myself with a surplus of !!!s this month!

New beers from the Beer of the Month Club via Arlington, VA. Dailey’s From Saranac Brewing Company a Black and Tan Stout And a IPA. From Chock Beer Company in Krebs, OK. A Basement Batch Pale Ale and a Miner Mishap Black Lager.

Coldest winter in the history of Florida and I am paying big bucks to be near the beach and have a pool. Go figure. But we will have the most visitors this year. Go figure again. Iron Mike Cunningham, with his new stint in his artery donated the following. Magic Hat Odo Motion Winter 09. From Michelob a Shock top Wheat and a Stone Mill Organic Pale Ale. From Red Hook a Long Hammer IPA. From Michigan Brewing in Webberville, MI. a IPA and a Celis Grand Cru.

Opening day for the Orioles today. We almost got cut before the first pitch. Orientation on Feb.24th. We get our work schedules. Not good. I am assigned only 11 games and have been busted to ticket taker. I mean, how am I to send back witty vignettes about the crazy doings behind the scenes of spring training? Not only that but they got Mrs, Dailey working different days. Humming a few bars of “Take this job and shove it” I approach the new Baby Boss Tracee Krump and ask if she can somehow modify the schedule so that we can both work the same days, more days and restore me to my usher position. Baby Boss looks confused and states “I just put the names into the computer and that’s how they came out, some people have 8 games and the ushers jobs went to the people who worked here for the Reds”. After 4 other couples voiced the same concern the light dawned and she said she would have a do-over. I bit my lip and did not strangle this child. Next day get a call from the Bubbling Baby Boss saying all has been resolved and we both are now working 15 games as ticket takers. Well this is progress. What about the usher position, I ask. Oh, she forgot. But one couple quit rather than work only 8 games let me get back to you. Next day Baby Boss calls. OK Mr. Dailey You get to usher 11 games and rip tickets for 5 games. Done Deal! Thank you Tracee for going out of the way for us. No problem. You worked all those years in Ft. Lauderdale and we are glad to have you here in Sarasota. We report for duty 10am today. O’s V Ray’s. Stay tuned!

The Traveling Bellayutos came east for the cruise and donated the following from MDII in Monroe, WI a Piedmont Porter, a Berkshire Springs Stock Ale, a Tejas Bock and a Hole in the rock Marzen.

Bang the Drum Slowly for Central Falls Teachers who have all been fired without cause because the school is underperforming. This “Last Resort” is a result of the failure of a inner city school where the poverty level of 90% of the students is way below the norm. How do you educate students who do not come to school? The failure is societal. Fix the poverty, fix the racism, fix the system. They have a mad women running the asylum! Labor should hang it’s collective heads for letting this come to pass. Either cave in and meet the demands, negotiate a just deal or get just as nuclear and pull every teacher in RI out, every teacher in New England out and the nation! I know, not gonna happen. But an old Anarchist can dream. And educators are not Wobblies, or Teamsters, or Mine workers.

From Phil Howell, the East Side Insider a Troegs Nugget Nectar Imperial Amber from Harrisburg, PA and from Laughing Dog Brewery in Ponderay, ID. The Dog Farther Imperial Stout.

Everybody tells me Obama is in trouble! From Who? Rush or the Dimwit from Alaska?

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to work I go now to supplement my income at the ball park.

Enjoy Arthur and the Van Delays!
