Space (and space autograph) and baseball (and baseball autograph) enthusiast with a Sharpie. Ballhawk, too - I'm the one carrying the baseball glove at stadiums. You may find me camping, at a National Park Site unit, or looking for fridge magnets.

Ariel in an X-wing battling Ursula in a TIE fighter is just one of the highlights in the #Disney-themed Ferone Family Holiday Light Show, with synchronized lights and music. Really neat and worth the drive! #feronelightshow #feronefamily #christmas #christmaslights #holidaylights #tomsriver

Suuurrrre you're fake. That's what Marjorie wants people to think of you, Harold, as you slowly twist in the wind and die of cold and exposure and maybe electrocution. 🤔 #christmas #christmasdecor #christmasdecorations #christmasdecorating #help #helpme #call911

Isn't this a contradiction? #thingsthatmakeyougohmmm

Little surprised. We haven't dined at CB pretty much since 2017 (unless someone took us there, not knowing of our backstory) for them being dismissive to us and another family. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... #crackerbarrel

I was looking for a ball for Milt Thompson to sign. I found out that he had played in the 93 World Series. Some late Googling showed that of the three announcers that would be at Citizens Bank Park on Nov 30, one of them (Larry Andersen) had also played in the 93 World Series. #baseball #autograph

Today's #lunch: Trying a new place at random. Cowboy burger: 8oz fresh sirloin cooked to medium well, topped with cheddar, bacon, and onion ring, lettuce and tomato, served with a pickle and tater tots. #popshop #collingswood #collingswoodnj #thepopshop

Aurora 7: The Mercury Space Flight of M. Scott Carpenter by Colin Burgess. A photo I took of Carpenter, during a book tour stop in Philadelphia, was used. #books #space #NASA

Freedom 7: The Historic Flight of Alan B. Shepard, Jr. by Colin Burgess. An article I wrote, about a Navy photographer who was present when Shepard was brought aboard USS Lake Champlain, was cited. #books #space #NASA

NASA's Scientist-Astronauts by David J. Shayler and Colin Burgess. I contributed a photo I took of Story Musgrave (six-flight Shuttle astronaut.) #books #space #NASA

Want obscure? Celebrity Access, the Directory: How and Where to Write the Rich and Famous, 1995-1996 revised edition by Thomas Burford. Before the internet became common, finding where to write people for #autographs was a chore - hence the need for guides like this, which I contributed. #books

Cat Caught My Heart: Stories of Wisdom, Hope and Purrfect Love, by Michael Capuzzo and Teresa Banik Capuzzo. This is perhaps my favorite book to which I contributed. My cat, unbeknownst to me, recorded a greeting message on my answering machine. True story. My best friend immortalized. #books #cats

Star Trek Chronology: The History of the Future, by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda. While I didn't contribute to this, I did point out an error in the (this) first edition: Yuri Gagarin's flight was listed as happening in 1959, not 1961. #books #StarTrek

The Star Trek Encyclopedia: A Reference Guide to the Future, updated and expanded edition, by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda. I was a contributor. #books #StarTrek

(Sharing more stuff I've been involved in): A Matter of Time: The Unauthorized Back to the Future Lexicon, by Rich Handley. I was a contributor. #books #BTTF #BackToTheFuture @richhandleywriter.bsky.social

I was a beta reader for this book (unfortunately, didn't have time to beta read the second volume), providing feedback as well as fact checking. #astronauts #space #trivia
