Phile Vans! Good to see your name.

I promised to take my nephew golfing, or I’d definitely make it. Can you come back next weekend, Joe?

I am originally from NE Kansas I live in St. louis now. I hope to meet you someday and unfortunately it will not be this weekend. I am bummed I won't be in town this weekend. I agree with the comments recommending City Museum. It is excellent. You may enjoy eating at O'Connell's Irish Pub. Great atmosphere and the burgers are the best I've had in St. Louis. Their amber ale is pretty good too. Nate Joe,

You merely sit back and enjoy the theater of the absurd. And for what it is worth, it helps to be in an altered state of consciousness while viewing! And to #7, I have long advocated that if MLB was serious about getting their act together, they could do a LOT worse than make Bob Costas commisioner. Of course,t eh owners would never go for that, they like having hand puppets in that seat. See Selig, Bud... Off topic replies: Brent, you don’t ‘get’ The Big Lebowski or ‘Napoleon Dyamite’.
