Hank Conger - Futures Game 2010 - Angels Baseball
My son played Little League with Hank. Hank was hitting home runs like this when he was 12. Another kid from his All Star was just drafted to a major league team as well.

Need a Rockin Read? Check out West of Mars for a Free E Book!
OK, so there is no more Rock of Love, Jersey Shore isn't on yet and The Bachelorette annoys the heck out of me....so I went over to West of Mars and Susan has a special on The Demo Tapes. If you haven't checked these out yet, do so immediately!
Here is what Susan is offering:
Yep, boys and girls, it’s time for the Summer Sale over at Smashwords. Which means that once again, I’ve put the two Demo Tapes anthologies on sale — you can get them for free!
Seriously. Free.
Just like I did during Read an E-Book Week. I’m doing it again ’cause I made a lot of new converts to the Trevolution. And with Trevor’s Song finally about to come out (if I ever finish the formatting for Smashwords, and put the ISBN graphic on the back cover of the print version), this is the perfect time to help spread the word.
Here’s the link:
And here’s the Coupon: SW100.
Share the coupon. Spread the love. You know Trevor would!
Also, if you pick up a copy of The Demo Tapes: Year 1 via the Kindle Store, send me your reciept and I’ll send YOU a coupon code for a free download of Year 2 via Smashwords.com. Two for one! This will run until I say otherwise.
And…I’ve dropped the price on both books over at Smashwords. Go knock yourselves out!
If you haven’t been over to Win a Book yet (or submitted links of your own), you’re missing out on quite a listing of giveaways, guest blog posts by authors (some you’ve heard of and some you haven’t) and other ways to connect yourself with new books. Come join us over there, why don’t you?

Fun Puns
1. King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of
war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the
Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate,
he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan.
Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it".
"But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you
know who I am? I am the king!"
Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference
who you are."
2. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were
avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the Swiss league records were
destroyed in a fire, ...and so we'll never know for whom the Tells
bowled.
3. A man rushed into a busy doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I
think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle
down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
4. A marine biologist developed a race of genetically engineered
dolphins that could live forever if they were fed a steady diet of
seagulls. One day, his supply of the birds ran out so he had to go
out and trap some more. On the way back, he spied two lions asleep on
the road. Afraid to wake them, he gingerly stepped over them. Immediately, he
was arrested and charged with...transporting gulls across sedate lions
for immortal porpoises.
5. Back in the 1800's the Tate's Watch Company of Massachusetts
wanted to produce other products, and since they already made the
cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new
compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico
rather than California . This, of course, is the origin of the
expression,..."He who has a Tate's is lost!"
6. A thief broke into the local police station and stole all the
toilets and urinals, leaving no clues. A spokesperson was quoted as
saying, "We have absolutely nothing to go on."
7. An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine
man. After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin
strip of elk rawhide and gave it to the chief, telling him to bite
off, chew,and swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a
month, the medicine man returned to see how the chief was feeling.
The chief shrugged and said, "The thong is ended, but the malady
lingers on."
8. A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his
name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining
to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, "I must
have taken Leif off my census."
9. A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk
remedies with the assistance of a tribal Brujo who indicated that the
leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of
constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the Brujo
looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like
these, you don't need enemas."
