Juggling Instead of Unpacking

The house that inspired ‘The Amityville Horror’ is up for sale. 5 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, finished basement, and “interesting history”. $1.15 million.

Scientists believe they’ve found the world’s oldest sex toy.  It’s 28,000 years old and may have also been used to start fires.

Speaking of awesome baseball movies, the farmhouse where ‘Field of Dreams’ was filmed is for sale. It has 193 acres, 7 buildings, and the home is 2 bedroom/1.5 bath/2400 sq. ft. It comes complete with the baseball field, corn field, and approximately 65,000 visitors per year. It’s a steal at only $5.4 million.

The intangible assets of the property are simply not measurable. The Field of Dreams owners have been honored to be a part of sports history these past 20 years and have played host to a variety of sports celebrities along the way.  Moments of peace and quiet, family togetherness and most of all, magic and wonder have been among their greatest and most cherished memories. It has been a destination for millions of visitors and may continue to be the place many find peace and quiet in our modern day existence.

Ken Burns’ awesome “Baseball” documentary will have a new four-hour installment come September. It will bring the 1994 series up to date with what’s gone on in the past 16 years. Of special note is the Red Sox’ 2004 World Series win:

A coda to Baseball held appeal because of recent events around the game — and, for a long-suffering Sox fan such as Burns, as a way to celebrate the team’s 2004 World Series win. “I admit we would not be doing this had they not won,” Burns says. “But this will sit well with all fans.”

Yeah, that should sit well with Yankees fans.

On nail clipping:

Under no circumstance is the Subway the right place for this. [...]  It’s crazy that this even needs to be mentioned.
