Brainstorming: Media moments

- Went to the library (2blocks from house) every Saturday of my childhood. Well, maybe not every Saturday but often! - Read all of the Hardy Boys novels. - Read //Count of Monte Cristo// by Dumas when I was twelve. The biggest book in our local library--eleven hundred pages! - Looked up swear words in the enormous Webster's dictionary in the main part of the library. - Watched Saturday afternoon baseball on TV with my father. The play-by-play by -- Dizzy Dean and Pee Wee Reese--1960-1965 for CBS. "[|Diz] ([|Dizzy Dean]), you've watched this pitcher out there for four innings, and he's doing a great job. What would you say he's been throwing out there?" [|Dean] replied, "Well [|Pee Wee], I have been watching him for four innings and I believe that's a baseball he's throwin."

The first in a long series of //howto// books I have purchased.
