Uncle Jeff turns 28 today!
Here's what he looked like almost 3 decades ago:


A few shots of Jeff, caught in the act of "uncling":



Standing on 2 feet of ice on Mirror Lake:


Tryptophan strikes again!:


I can only assume that he was yodeling here:


Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff!

Please Don't Adjust Your Sets...

We missed seeing it, but WGN broadcast a Cubs game on June 12th as it would have been seen back in 1948. The video was black-and-white, the camera angles were odd and few, the audio was tinny w/ a typewriter in the background, the uniforms were 1948 replicas, and the stadium announcer was sitting in the seats directly behind home plate.


DON'T ADJUST YOUR SET. WE KNOW
THE GAME IS IN BLACK & WHITE.
IT'S 1948 FOR A FEW INNINGS
SO RELAX AND ENJOY.






60 years later, I'm watching this on Youtube. Amazing!
