I'm going to start a new series on here with sports memorabilia. Like my Travel Collection, I'll post a pic of a card(s) and talk about them in a post. Note: This is an actual card owned by me and uploaded here.This is a card every Chicago Bears fan knows about. This is Walter Payton's rookie card that was released in the 1976 Topps set as card #148. He was the team's top draft choice(No. 4 overall) out of Jackson State in Mississippi.He rushed for 679 yards as a rookie with seven touchdowns....

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Evie. All opinions are 100% mine. This has been a very active winter, and the effect it has had on traveling can't be understated. In my line of work, I'm on a plane all the time to work just about anywhere in the country. That means I've had to wait at airports due to cancelations or delays of my flights. Uploaded with Skitch ! I do my best to keep from being bored at airports, but I want a way to occupy my time when that happens. With the...

I'm back for this Music Monday for the first time in awhile. Of course, this Music Monday is hosted by the one and only Lady Java. It is WrestleMania week for all fans of wrestling and/or of the WWE. As many of you have read on my other blog at Basic Bloganomics, I'll be there for this year's event in Atlanta! I'll be going to Axxess to hopefully meet some of the stars and divas as well as possibly get some autographs or pics with them! Also, the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is this Saturday...

I'm back for this Music Monday that is hosted by my good blogger friend Lady Java. As the wrestling world already knows, Randy "Macho Man" Savage died Friday at the age of 58. Over at my Basic Bloganomics site, I wrote about the wrestling legend Randy Savage. So this week's Music Monday is a classic theme song of his that he used in his WWF days. RIP Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple. Leave ONLY the ACTUAL LINK POST here and grab...

On my mini-vacation to Oklahoma City last year during Labor Day weekend, I had visited my old neighborhood before going to the Oklahoma National Memorial & Museum. The museum is dedicated to those victims and families of the OKC Bombing on April 19, 1995. Before leaving the museum to go to the gift shop, I simply signed on their visitor's guide: "I'll never forget that day or this visit here". Anyway, the gift shop offered quite a bit of souvenirs to buy which I did. Here's what I bought:Be...

The Saturday night during Labor Day weekend is when I finally attended an Oklahoma Sooners game at their home as they took on Utah State in a surprisingly close win. I had been by their university quite a few times when living in that state, but never seen a football game there. I had watched them play in the Red River Rivalry in 2009 in Dallas, TX. The FanFest before the game was awesome. I got so much free stuff like posters, banners, and coupons as well as free food to local restaurants in...

I'm back for this Music Monday hosted by the one and only Lady Java ! This is a song I first heard of during a Super Bowl in the early 1990s. It is Van Halen's(with Sammy Hagar as the lead) Right Now song. Of course, they're a very memorable band especially for those that grew up in the 1980s like I did. This is a rock solid video.So here is Right Now by Van Halen. Right Now, I'm signing off the site for the time being! Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. Rules are simple....

Continuing on with my mini-vacation I took to Oklahoma during Labor Day weekend last year, I stopped by the Science Museum in Oklahoma City before going to Oklahoma Memorial Stadium @ Owen Field to watch the Oklahoma Sooner play. After going to the Science Museum in Boston, I had to check this place out. In some ways, it was better than the one in Boston especially with the Crime Scene setup that they had as they have a contract through the Oklahoma FBI. Anyway, here are some of the items I...

As we continue on from my mini-trip to Oklahoma City last year, I went back to a place that I frequented many times as kid on field trips while attending Country Estates Elementary School in Midwest City. And wow, did it bring back childhood memories! The place I'm talking about is the Oklahoma City Zoo. It is the oldest zoo in the southwest USA, and it is consistently ranked as one of best 10 zoos in the country, too. It was even better than I remembered it as a kid, and is a place for all...

My next stop after the Oklahoma City Zoo on my trip to the Sooner State last September was the National Softball Hall of Fame. The National Softball Hall of Fame opened in 1957, and expanded in 1976. The Hall of Fame itself was officially constructed in 1987. The ASA Hall of Fame Stadium is the official site of the NCAA Women's College World Series which airs over 40 games on the ESPN network.The exhibit is rather small compared to other Hall of Fame exhibits, and it has a small gift shop....

The winter season just doesn't seem to want to end even living here in the southeastern USA. It was just a week ago that it was warm enough to wear shorts and shirt, but you wouldn't know it by what the weather is like now. Despite that, I've already started looking around for beach apparel since summer isn't far away. So winter will soon pass by for the summer, and I'm excited about it. In North Carolina where beach fronts and resorts are plentiful, it is the time of year where retailers all...

In October of last year while on job assignment in White Plains, NY, I had the first Sunday night off of the month. That night, the New York Giants hosted my favorite NFL team, the Chicago Bears, in a game in East Rutherford, New Jersey that was on NBC Sunday Night Football. I had great seats at about the 30-yard line at New Meadowlands Stadium on the visitor's side where the Bears sideline was. 2010 was the stadium's inaugural season for both the New York Giants and New York Jets....

I'm back for this Music Monday hosted by the one and only Lady Java. Yes, summer is upon us here in the USA, so the theme for this week will fit that. I recall this rap hit from Will Smith during my days in high school. It's a replay of Kool & the Gang's hit from the 1970s called Summer Madness.Although not the best artist ever, it is hard for hits from my generation back in high school to be forgotten. So this week's Music Monday hit from me is Summertime by Will Smith. Enjoy. Come join Musi
