GNABRT becoming novelized!July 26, 2019
Finally! After years in development (okay, not really), the 15,000+ mile road trip that was my Great North American Baseball Road Trip is being combined into one compendium.
The outline is done and the writing starts shortly. Actual completion date is undetermined as is publishing details. But we thought we’d get this out here now, since it’s the first new news (say that three times fast) in four years!

JMD has been put in his place March 21, 2012
The great sorting project has been completed and you can now browse past (and future) blogs based on the subjects you find most appealing. While it’s likely you’ll want to read all the blog posts on the JMD site, this will make recommendations and re-reads easier to access by using the list of categories to the right of any post. Hovering over the category will give you a short hint what resides there. Remember, new posts are added each weekday (the author reserves the right to take weekends off).
JMD is sorting things outFebruary 9th, 2012
Long threatened, I’ve finally started on the ambitious blog-sorting project. Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be sorting all the posts on the Ramblings
page into easily accessed categories. The categories should make it a snap to find an old post you wanted to reread or share. It will also be easier to check out old posts in a similar vein to a current post you enjoy. Look to the right section of the blog and you will see the new list of categories (which may grow as I get through more). Have fun!

Apologies to all who asked about the book (originally scheduled to come out last month). The results will be worth the delay, guaranteed!
