Some recent ads on Facebook (and one on Instagram) caught my attention, and I wanted to share. Oh, bother. Yes, Facebook thinks I’m still in the market for unlicensed Washington Nationals jerseys with pop culture characters. To be fair to Facebook, I did buy the Oasis Nationals jersey (and had it customized for Sean Doolittle,Continue reading “As Seen on Facebook”

Oh, Facebook ads. Did Facebook serve me something interesting? Oh, yes, indeed. Who doesn’t want to wear some fine Bob Larkin artwork on a shirt. Like, this shirt. What is this, my friends? That’s Bob Larkin’s cover artwork to J.A. Lawrence’s Mudd’s Angels. Harry Mudd and three scantily clad women, the starship Enterprise overhead. It’sContinue reading “Recent Facebook Ads”
Nationals on the Shoulder of Giants
Facebook, you know my interests too well. But I am not going to buy an unlicensed novelty Washington Nationals City Connect jersey with “Standing on the Shoulder of Giants”-era Oasis holding the World Series trophy on its back. I’m just not. Yes, I love the new Nationals City Connect jersey — the light blue, theContinue reading “Nationals on the Shoulder of Giants”
A Saturday Potpourri
A quick update about work. For those coming in late, Diamond Comic Distributors, my employer for the past eighteen years, filed for bankruptcy in mid-January. For the past month, since mid-May, I have been working for Diamond under a Transition Services Agreement (or TSA); the company was bought by Ad Populum, but I remained employedContinue reading “A Saturday Potpourri”
Charlie Brown’s Nationals All-Stars
Finally, Facebook shows me an ad that’s relevant to my interests! It was bound to happen at some point. A Washington Nationals Peanuts 75th-Anniversary baseball jersey. Facebook has shown me Peanuts-themed baseball jerseys before, but not for the Nationals. For example… I didn’t hate these — they still pop up in my feed, and fromContinue reading “Charlie Brown’s Nationals All-Stars”
It’s an Unlicensed Jersey, Charlie Brown!
A few days ago, I began to see some intriguing ads on Facebook — baseball jerseys, with Peanuts characters. I made the mistake — I suppose you can call it that — of clicking on one of the ads, as my feed is now full of these ads. Different sellers, same product. I can’t imagineContinue reading “It’s an Unlicensed Jersey, Charlie Brown!”
Opening Day
Opening Day! The happiest day of the year for a baseball fan! The day when everything is new! The day when everything feels possible! The Harrisburg Senators, AA team of the Washington Nationals, began their season last week on the road in Somerset, losing two of the three games in New Jersey, and today wasContinue reading “Opening Day”
Anniversaries and Old Photographs
Diamond Comic Distributors celebrated its 40th-anniversary today. And, even though the office doesn’t have many people working out of it right now due to COVID, the office was decorated for the day with signs. There was even a banner at the main entrance. I hadn’t been out the doors into the main lobby since MarchContinue reading “Anniversaries and Old Photographs”
Scenes from the Senators’ Opening Night
The last time I was on Harrisburg’s City Island for a baseball game — the fourth and final game of the 2019 Eastern League Division Series between the Harrisburg Senators and the Bowie Baysox — no one had ever heard of COVID-19. And I wasn’t visually impaired. Tuesday night, after something like 612 days, professionalContinue reading “Scenes from the Senators’ Opening Night”
