Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: PAUL SPLITTORFF - ANOTHER HERO IS GONE

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Wednesday, May 25, 2011. PAUL SPLITTORFF - ANOTHER HERO IS GONE. I know that it is rather silly to hold up a baseball player as a hero. As an adult that is no doubt true, but to a kid following a baseball team year round for years and years, it is understandable. A lot of who I call "heroes" are sports figures. Last week Harmon Killebrew died. Today Paul Splitorff has passed. I remember when the R...

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: FINDING A BETTER SEAT

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Friday, February 4, 2011. FINDING A BETTER SEAT. Elaine and I arrived at Yellowstone Park after a harrowing yet beautiful trip over Beartooth Pass (see blog entry for 12-01-10). Yellowstone is a wonderful place to visit. We were on a tight schedule that did not leave us a lot of time in the park so we had to condense our sight seeing and pick out what was important. February 5, 2011 at 7:57 AM.

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: UP ON THE ROOF
http://wm-clark.blogspot.com/2011/11/up-on-roof.html
Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. UP ON THE ROOF. Every night I would come home and come face to face with one of the chores I dread doing around the house. I would walk up towards the house and take a quick glance up at the gutter over the garage door. There I would see leaves spilling out over the top. The gutters were full and would need to be cleaned out before the next rain came. I sat on the roof ...

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Tuesday, February 22, 2011. KEVAN COMES TO THE RACES. Dennis and I became friends when I started working at my present job back in nineteen seventy nine. He was a man who was always on the go doing something. In his younger days he would jump from hobby to hobby and from woman to woman. Most of all in those early years his time was spent on racing. Rose never confronted us on this delivery. If...

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: A TRIP TO THE BALLPARK WITH DAD

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Tuesday, December 14, 2010. A TRIP TO THE BALLPARK WITH DAD. Rule number six goes back to pre-game activity. Never park in the parking lot. You can save fifty cents by parking in someone's front yard five or six blocks away from the stadium. This gets your muscles ready for the long ordeal ahead of you by getting any kinks that may have set in your muscles worked out. December 14, 2010 at 11:00 PM.

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: KID CRISCO (THE CRISCO KID)
http://wm-clark.blogspot.com/2012/04/kid-crisco-crisco-kid.html
Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Tuesday, April 3, 2012. KID CRISCO (THE CRISCO KID). So, let me present the story of a young child, let's say from the southeastern United States visiting his grandparents one summer for a week or so. It was then that his grandmother pulled out the big gun. If this large can of Crisco couldn't loosen his head, then nothing would. As they started pasting his head with the white greasy conco...Grand...

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: ALESIA DAWN
http://wm-clark.blogspot.com/2011/04/alesia-dawn.html
Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Monday, April 4, 2011. Today is Alesia's twenty seventh birthday. Alesia was born with a defect in her heart. The earliest picture I have seen of Alesia is a blurred Polaroid of a team of nurses rushing an incubator down the hallway of the hospital. Alesia survived the heart condition and began living life the best that she could. All of us need to be careful and to stop and think before saying so...

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy: DARK EMOTION
http://wm-clark.blogspot.com/2011/06/dark-emotion.html
Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Tuesday, June 28, 2011. I don't claim to be a poet at all. I am a poet as much as I am a writer. This is my first attempt at a poem on the blog. Who knows what it will turn out to be. Sunny day and everything is fine. Things are normal despite the unseen. The unseen comes quickly and silently. It creeps up from behind and breathes on the shoulder. The darkness grabs silently. You know it isn't fin...

Missouri Thoughts of a Missouri Boy. Thoughts and writings by Wm Clark with favorite quotes and song lyrics. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. This is the story of a woman I did not get to know as well as I would have wanted to. Grandma Clark was my father's mother. I can honestly say I have not met a sweeter and more loving woman than Grandma Clark. She loved candy. You could always count on grandma having at least two candy dishes filled up whenever you visited. Candies of choice were butterscotch, peppe...Grand...
