    I thought that "Be Home By" would have been

    Alvin (Be Home By) Dark, but he was the Swamp Fox....

    Any ideas?

    It just dawned on me. I am ready to start another day of non-stop baseball watching and listening - and I am guessing baseball nicknames at 8:25 in the a.m. with my friend NCBB.

    My wife is right - I need to get a life - or a job - either one will do. LOL

    Here's a new one ... not too hard.
