The Catchup V.3
Here's a few miscellaneous thoughts:
*What study did the Salvation Army do, to decide that ringing an incessant bell over and over again would produce more donations? Yes, call me Scrouge....I dont' get shopping much, but when I do, I don't want to hear some guy keeping his mind busy by counting to 100 straight bell rings...
* On a work related note, a customer came to me with a concerned look on her face and said there's a bug crawling around. So, I added bug killing to my resume.
* That same morning a guy called on the phone and said that he received a call from someone in my "firm". Well, I didn't know a bookstore could be classified as a firm, but I stuck my chest out a little farther all the same...
* Lastly a thought on the weather. I know it bends to no-one's will, but I really would like a good snow that cancels the day's activities, and lets me go sledding with Dakota. If we're going to get some bad weather...let's really get it...not of this "over-hyped" snow/freezing rain/rain stuff

The Catchup V.2
So, as it turns out a friend of ours from Indiana was part of the recent A's-Diamondbacks deal....see below:
From ESPN.com
The NL West champions acquired Haren from the rebuilding Oakland Athletics and traded major league saves leader Jose Valverde to Houston in separate swaps involving 12 players Friday.
Oakland also sent right-hander Connor Robertson to Arizona and received six players: left-handers Brett Anderson, Dana Eveland and Greg Smith; infielder Chris Carter; and outfielders Aaron Cunningham and Carlos Gonzalez.
The last known employ of our friend Aaron was Greencroft, now it looks like it's the Oakland Athletics. I also knew him to be more of a first basemen, now he's an outfielder.
On a more accurate note, the last player mentioned, Carlos Gonzalez was a guy I saw play in South Bend, he and Carlos Quetin. You could tell those two had a chance, because they were putting up numbers then (which you should in Single-A).

The Catchup V.1
Here's another word from our "green" friends...(now it's the good word....did you hear that Jesus's words are going to be printed in green ink?.....just kidding)
HarperOne releases Green Bible.
HarperOne announced it will release The Green Bible (NRSV) in Fall 2008. The Green Bible will specifically focus on creation care, with input from leading Christian conservationists, theologians, and practitioners.
“The Bible carries an important message about caring for the earth,” said Mark Tauber, VP and deputy publisher of HarperOne. “Going green has become a top concern among many Christians as they begin to see protecting all of creation as a biblical obligation. Our Green Bible offers them a new lens to identify how caring for creation comes right out of the Scriptures.”
This green-letter edition of the Bible will highlight verses and passages focused on creation care. It will includes a series of essays by leading thinkers, teachers and writers, as well as a comprehensive “green trail guide,” through Scripture, a survey of Christian historical figures and their approach to creation care, and a green concordance and resource guide.
The Green Bible will be produced using environmentally sensitive materials including special paper and covers.
