Where I am Right Now, Pt. 4

Another day, another city. Well, not exactly. It's Thursday afternoon for me, and I'm in Malmø, Sweden. The last time I was here it was pouring rain. Today it's cloudy, cool, and mostly dry.

Genealogy. It's all Relative

Genealogy is a pursuit where you'll never know what you may turn up. Or the fascinating things that drop in your lap. Some people approach genealogy wanting to prove some old family legend. Some just are curious about how their family got to where it is. And others, well, some others want to see what they can get from someone.

The Top 40 Twins of All Time

No, this list doesn't include the two I know in Wisconsin. :-) Over at Aaron Gleeman's Blog he's working on a list of the top 40 Minnesota Twins.

I wonder where Harmon Killebrew , Tony Oliva , Bert Blyleven , and Jim Kaat will finish up. I'll be paying attention to his list.
