Hi, Don. I think I read on your site that you began Shoestring Catches during a period of unemployment. I began doing Dazzy Vance after a similar experience. Just curious how things are going. I have a J degree from Mizzou and worked in community journalism (sports and news) before getting laid off from a job in corporate communications. Thanks, Glen.LikeLiked by 1 personThanks for asking.Haven t really worked since May 15. A friend of mine owns a factory and he had someone quit so I am working part time for him but that still allows me to get partial unemployment. Job market where I live isn t very good Had one employer tell me that I would not want to work there. Having a good time though. Getting to watch my son play soccer this fall .. Missed several matches last year. My biggest frustration at this point is with WordAds. I signed up and then a few months later I was told they were not accepting new accounts. Not made one cent from my blog. Not looking to get rich but every little bit would help.Anyway, sorry for the long winded response and thanks again for asking.DonLikeLikeSite TitlePress Room PassMLB HubI write about baseball...The Baseball BloggessLoves the 4-6-3 and the Serial Comma.Coco Crisp s AfroWe prattle on about the past and future of Oakland A s baseball with a rock n roll rebellious spirit and an eternal love for Milton Bradley.90prooftwang90 Proof Twang BandPhillies InsiderLarry Shenk, Official Team Historian, offers insight into the past, present and future of the Phillies.The Millennium Conjectures™A Blog of the Ridiculous and Sublime, by Mark SacklerMLB.com Blogs CentralWelcome to the MLB.com community blog!
