Mark J. EhlersOct 25

Derrick -- I always enjoy reading your blog and your columns on the St. Louis Post-Dispatch website. I am a lifelong Cardinals fan who grew up in New Jersey (long story). I talk about it in an essay entitled, "Life as a Cardinals Fan: Of Hope and Heartbreak," which I posted on my blogsite following the Cards' devastating loss in game two of the NLDS. If you have a moment, please check it out at: http://ehlersoneverything.blogspot.com/2009/10/life-as-cardinals-fan-of-hope-and.html
Keep up the good work and great writing.

Just ordered this personalized clubhouse print for my nephew for his b-day. It's perfect since he plans to be a STL Pro ball player... http://www.brownbowgifts.com/Personalized_MLB_Clubhouse_Print_with_Matted_Frame_p/gc727.htm

Excellent news Tim. I got your email and will reply ASAP. Hope you're able to come up with the funding -- because the idea is worth the support.

There was more to the quote, and I hope the get it all in the paper Wednesday -- it had specifically to do with Hawksworth and his place in the organization.

Great quote from Duncan on PJ, Adam and Blake. I think he speaks for all of us here.

Go D.G,
Filmed for 4 hours this morning, just before the sun rose I spotted that there was a very heavy frost on everything. Immediately threw on heavy clothers- was -1 at that moment, for next hour zero, then finally 7 and now 22 above. so Enjoy the warmth amigo!

Wish I was there on one level. I'd love to be filming the guys. I have deep sense it will come. Two big calls on Monday another on Wednesday regarding Argentina and Namibia trip for hunting show.

Keep up the great Reporting DG and I'll work on my funding....
Tim

I am new to the whole facebook thing, dg. With that said I am an avid Bird Land reader and would support a group. Just wish I knew more about what that is ;)

Created a group for Bird Land -- http://www.new.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25745802082&ref=nf -- so that there can be more interaction. The group doesn't have the news feed (like here), but it does have a discussion board, a wall and a tool to send out email alerts.
