We lived in the fourth to the last house on Alabama Avenue from September 1969 through November 1970. Anyone else from that time?

Comment on Fun Ball - MIZZOU B-Ball

Hey Bubba, You have been living in South Carolina too long. When the rest of the world says USC, they are talking about a place in CA. When you see the ball coach, tell him he left DC so fast we didn't get a chance to tar and feather him.

Comment on The Judge Says - Judge is a Short-timer

USALSA stands for United States Army Legal Services Agency. They are part of the appellate system for trials by courts martial. The Article 15 (non judicial punishment) that Del gave is probably a pretty good story and if I knew it, of course I would share it. Del was also the Commandant of the School, but at his senior age and with the burden of so much command, he may have forgotten.

Jack: I was the Commander of USALSA (not on your list) and actually gave one Article 15. My recollection is that TJAG is not a commander. He is a General Staff Officer. How soon we forget

Comment on Why I Will Never Buy an Audi

Mr. Rice:

I'm so happy you have a blog, because you sure don't have a listed phone number. (And your blog doesn't have an e-mail address attached either.)

My name is Caleb Hannan, and just a few days ago I was on the phone with a friend of yours, Gen. Jerry Curry.

I'm the managing editor of Seattle Weekly, a paper here in the Pacific Northwest, and I've recently become obsessed with a car called the Research Safety Vehicle.

Multiple interviews and hours of research led me to Curry, who then suggested I get in touch with you. I'm going to leave my contact info at the bottom of the page.

Should you decide to write back, and eventually assent to a phone call, I promise we can spend the first five minutes talking about how terrible the Redskins are. As a native Washingtonian, I'm sure we'll have more than enough material to work with.

Sincerely,
Caleb Hannan

Comment on Senior Moments

As an up-to-date geezer, I no longer call them senior moments. They are now Google Moments -- because as you know you can get answers to all your questions on Google including "Where are my car keys?"

Jack:

Nice one. I always enjoy reading the Rice Quips. I'm also relieved to know I'm not the only one who experienced "senior" moments long before I could claim that status.

Comment on Cardinals, Cardinals, Forever Cardinals

Great article on the Cardinals. I too was at the game that Musial hit the five home runs. He made it look easy, and only years later did I realize what an accomplishment that was. When Pujols hit the three homers in the last series, I thought about that day almost sixty years ago.

I've been in Houston for years, and I am an Astro fan, but I'll never lose my interest in the Cardinals. When I saw ex-Astro Berkman's single with Pujols on base in game six it seemed like a perfect way to lead the good guys to the final game. I'll never understand how people can say that baseball is too slow to remain America's pastime. Other sports may be exciting, but it would be hard to beat the drama and the athletic skill that we saw last week.
