I posted about 50 pages ago that it's Sept. 19 but didn't want to go back and find the post. I had to google it again. :oops:

Hey, DinK, is that the day of the Duke-Kansas football game?

That is the day of the Kansas game.
What is the Forest Park Balloon Race? Are y'all really going? Sounds like a great place to play with my (still) new camera.

Well, guess that means I won't be going to the Duke-Kansas game. Brunchgate in Durham it is! Must look up dates.

...Creve Coeur...

True story: "Creve Coeur" translates to "Burst Heart." That city name has always weirded me out.

What's the story with Kansas?

Great Forest Park Balloon Race: http://www.greatforestparkballoonrace.com/index.htm

It's pretty cool. I took some pics last year that are on my Facebook page. Didn't make the Balloon Glow but am going to try this year. I live within walking distance of Forest Park, which is a big bonus for events such as this one.

I've admitted defeat already.

But you're one of the greats! Surely we can't have defeated one of the greats... :shock:

Eventually everyone goes down to defeat. Father Time wins all wars.

Well, I didn't realize it was in St. Louis. Sadly, that's not quite in the cards for me these days.

St. Louis ... Cards ... :lol:

Heh...good catch. Totally unintentional.

I guessed as much. After I've had my coffee I'm pretty good at catching such things. :geek:

But a subtle admission that while not in the same division, the Cards have everything over the Bravos.

Better fans? Yes (though I am as good a Braves fan as there is).
Better team this year? Probably (but the Braves have some life in them yet).
Better stadium? A wash. Both are great.
Better city? Depends on your perspective. Two entirely different places (although I do really like St. Louis).
Better uniforms? Another wash. Two of the best in the biz.

Wow, Ymo, you're feeling bold this morning. I'm running for cover. (really I'm getting back to cleaning...)

This might be considered sacrelige by some, but I have not yet gone to a Cards game. It's on my list of things to do at some point.

Blasphemy, it should be the list.

Cardinals fans have heartily earned their reputation as the best fans in baseball. You really need to make this happen.

Huh?

[YmoBeThere]

I'm a Dodgers fan and definitely fit the mold of show up late and leave early. You know it is a bit of an inconvenience.

(Primarily a Dodgers fan. Accused Sox bandwagoner. But seriously, I was rooting for them in '86 and some of the earliest baseball cards I owned were of Jim Rice and Dwight Evans.)

That's not accurate. Literally without understanding the context/connotation, you're technically correct. However, most folks understand it as "Broken Heart."

And WHEN is the Forest Park Balloon Race this year? I hope it's not the weekend of my colonoscopy.

Hey, DinK, is that the day of the Duke-Kansas football game?

Thanks... we'll try to visit then. That only leaves trying to figure out when to attend a Brunchgate.

Oh yeah... and I have two conferences and a high school reunion to attend this fall.

Sept 19th is also the day of my football party.

Burst heart? Does that make it a good town for cardiologists?
