A Crosley Christmas: A Thread by Cam Miller
It will started when I uncovered this old brass plate and socket in floor when I restored floor this past fall. It is a few feet from the fireplace and it got me thinking. 1/8

Wiffleball: A thread. So I was talking to a friend abt Wiffleball the other day and he said he and his family used to play when they got together every summer. "That's cute," I chuckled. "I was pres/commissioner/player/mgr in the NWL (National Wiffleball League)." @WIFFLEballinc
