American Stories
I was looking for something to watch while I was on the computer tonight, trying to clean-up some email. Usually on a Monday night I'd probably watch Crossing Jordan, but just couldn't get myself to watch that Three's company movie on NBC. I switched over to Channel 11 (our local PBS affiliate), and saw that Ken Burns American Stories was on. They were broadcasting "Inning 6" of his Baseball series. I hadn't seen this series in years (it was originally broadcast in 1994). I love looking back at baseball. I just love baseball, I can't help it. Watching this just makes me feel good. Baseball showed everything that was right with America... at least as it was up to about 30-40 years ago. It makes me feel whole. I can't explain it. (Was I a ball player in a prior life? Why do I feel good at a ball park? Why am I drawn to this game?)

Michael,
I did a search today on "unemployment", looking for some people and what they're doing about it, figuring I'd find computer people in weblogs talking about being unemployed, and I saw your post about baseball, a nd watching the Ken Burns thing on PBS last night. I'm also 46 (turn 47 next week), an unemployed Computer person. (I see you are doing a Helpdesk thing right now. Consider yourself fortunate to have found SOMETHING remotely related. I just flunked a Dell Telephone Sales test last week.
But anyway, I too love Baseball (more so as it once was, when 100,000 was only for the superstars, and Pete Rose was vying to become the first singles hitter to hit the mark.
Check out my URL (weblog) , and I hope you find what you're looking for soon (which is what?)
