The Fallen

Over the weekend, John Marzano- aka: Johnny Marz-, added one more error to his lifetime stats. Marzano fell down a flight of stairs, but the precise cause of death has not been determined. Although Marzano was never a star player, he always exhibited a boisterous penchant for getting on camera with jokes and pranks.

While at Temple University, he earned a spot on the 1984 United States Olympic team as a catcher. Although baseball was still an Olympic demonstration sport at the time, with no medals awarded, that ’84 team included the future major league stars Mark McGwire, Barry Larkin and Will Clark.

John Robert Marzano was born in Philadelphia — “South Philly” he would have insisted, with an accent indicative of that part of town — on Feb. 14, 1963—he was 45 years old.

Just A Weird Day...

A postal worker is credited with saving a 1-year-old girl's life by catching her after the baby fell out of a second-story window in Albany, New York.

Lisa Harrell was delivering mail to a home late Monday morning when she noticed a baby in a window above the front door. Harrell says the next thing she knew, the baby had fallen into her arms.

When the baby's mother realized what had happened, she ran outside and grabbed the girl from Harrell. The woman thanked Harrell and then ran down the street to her mother's house.

No charges are being filed against the mother, who says she had placed her daughter on a bed that was up against the window. The mother said her back was turned when her daughter crawled out the open window.

Google Is Amazing

Happy Birthday to Mark...I couldn't have said it better myself.

My American Idol

So I'm a little behind on the DVR, but I finally got thru American Idol from this past week. It was the most amazing one yet. Not for the singing- oh no, it was for the most impressive cameo in recent memory. Which one of these I.H.P. (Individualized Honors Program) student's beautiful faces did my eyes bestow................???????

Dennis Fuckin' Blunden.
....I always thought Arvid Engen and he would end up living together in paradise somewhere. I guess the real question is- Where is Jawaharlal?

I Have Exorcised The Demons...

The New York Yankees have ended a construction worker's attempt to jinx their new stadium with a buried Red Sox jersey. Team officials watched Sunday as construction workers removed the jersey from two feet of concrete in a service corridor of the stadium that is under construction.

The Boston Red Sox jersey with the name of player David Ortiz that was unearthed at the new Yankee Stadium in New York, Sunday, April 13, 2008.

Apologies....And Such.

I would like to take some time on this beautiful Friday morning to offer my apologies to all the FingerMyBlog Faithful. Without you, the last few months were the lonliest of my life. Thank god I had Lisa to get me thru it.

So anyway, since we last 'Fingered each other', I've moved out west- way out to Western Pennsylvania.

That's right folks...Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The City of Bridges, The Steel City, The Iron City, Steel Town, The City of Champions, The City of Colleges, P-Burgh, The Burgh- whichever you prefer. Or the start of Glenn & Lisa's dynasty, as I like to call it.

Also, I just landed a new job up in 'The Burgh' and start on April 28th. So before long, I'll be 'Fingering' (from) a god damn cubicle.

....and I can't tell you how depressing (uplifting??) that is- but you can't keep a good finger down! Finger on!

I Ain't Never Scurred.

A Great Time For Change

Blackass!

Let's Get This 'Par-Tay' Started Back Up!

Have you been around

Have you done your share of coming down

On different things that people do

Have you been aware

You got brothers and sisters who care

About what's gonna happen to youIn a year from now...
Maybe I'll be there to shake your hand

Maybe I'll be there to share the land

That they'll be giving away

When we all live together.
