SBC (Predecessor of SRL) Champions going into 1877 season

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I've liked songs from a good number of artists and musical groups, including Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, Kathy Mattea, Lionel Cartwright, Patty Loveless, Amy Grant, Alabama, Gloria Estefan, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, George Gershwin, Sara Evans, Vince Gill, Reba, and George Strait, to name just some of them. Also like Martina McBride, among others, come to think of it.

Mostly like classical music, Christian music, some country, and assorted other songs or pieces of music. Like "Hatikvah", the Israelite national anthem, for example. That piece of music and the accompanying lyrics are so beautiful, in my view, and I like at least some Israelite/Jewish music too, as well. Check out some music by Ofra Haza, Jaci Velasquez, Rebecca St. James, and Lauren Daigle too, if and when you get the chance, among others you might want to check out later when possible and all. Praise and worship songs might also be up your alley too, I think, like "I Can Only Imagine," for example, by Mercy Me, if memory serves.

Will write more later, I'm sure, Lord willing. May He who sustains continue to watch over you and yours as He sees fit, and all, too, for sure, EC. CD out.

You have listened to some fine country artists... sorry, my taste in music is not praise and worship... the songs are too long and much too repetitive for me... I love old-fashioned hymns... Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Softly and Tenderly, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, The Old Rugged Cross, Just a Closer Walk with Thee, Just As I Am, I Surrender All, His Eye Is On the Sparrow, Love Lifted Me, In the Sweet By and By, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Blessed Assurance and Oh, How I Love Jesus... however, I do like the song "I Can Only Imagine", but not the Mercy Me version... it's too contemporary for me... I have it by a blue grass gospel group... far, far better than Mercy Me.

Still in the process of introducing people for the various teams currently in my Galactic Baseball Alliance dynasty. Still have to introduce quite a few more people for it, however. As far as my latest story, maybe some of the events in that dynasty will tie into events for this latest story of mine. But we'll have to see, of course, in any case.

Will keep you posted on things as I can, and where appropriate and all, I'm sure, Lord willing, Eugene. Hope to see you comment often in that thread, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Once I get done with introducing the Great Plains Bisons, the Minnesota Nocturnauts, and the Missouri Show-Mes' personnel and organizations, I will be introducing the New Orleans Bayous. Please keep an eye out for information related to them as soon as possible, of course, Eugene. Hopefully I'll be able to provide a lot of interesting information about their people and all, for you to enjoy and all. But we'll have to see if I can, you know.

Don't know how long it's going to take me to get to covering the Bayous just yet, at least to a degree, but I'm hoping I can do so before the end of June, at the very latest, Lord willing. Please let me know what you think of the introductory posts to the thread as you like and can and all, okay, Eugene? Thanks in advance if you do so, for sure. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

EC, do you have the numbers you used to add the characters from Duane Decker's Blue Sox series to your dynasties, especially the IPA, when you added them to the relevant games? If so, could you post them, so I can do the same, and all, please. I'd be most appreciative if you would, of course, and any other related data you think I might need to do so as well.

My latest story is now progressing again, or soon will be, I think. I'm hoping to finish the current chapter of it, Chapter Eight, by the end of the current week, but we'll have to see if I can. And I have some ideas and plans for the next couple of chapters coming up as well. It probably will be at least another month, though, before I start making new requests for graphics not yet made or mentioned before. Just so you know this here well enough, of course. Hope you're well, and that all of yours are too, et cetera. CD out.

We are doing fine... wearing masks when we go out... but we don't go out very much... just for essentials.

Hope you and your family are safe and well.

Wear your mask and social distance in public... and stay isolated as much as possible... don't attend large crowds or gatherings.

I don't plan to go out in public until the coronavirus is really under control... I will probably add three months more to my isolation just to make sure it is safe.

Sad to say... Americans are ignorant and stupid for not complying with the rules to control and contain the virus.

Wearing a mask is not that big a deal, especially if it can save lives.
It protect the wearer and other people, too.
It's the sensible thing to do.

[Eugene Church]

I will see if I can help you include Duane Decker's Blue Sox team in your league.

I personally created the players' ratings... and they came out pretty good... they performed well in my Islandian Pro Alliance.

What are you going to do with them?

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

I'd like to try and add them to the appropriate team or teams in my various dynasties, of course. Although I don't know if they'd play well in them yet. Especially in a dead-ball era, for instance. Or what I could use as a suitable home park for the applicable team or teams, either.

I don't generally go out that often normally. I don't think things are necessarily as bad in some areas with this thing as some may claim, while in other places, they're worse than claimed. As for mask usage, it may or may not be effective in fighting this, or the idea of social distancing.

But this is primarily a sports-related board, so I won't really get too in-depth with certain thoughts related to this virus, at least. Or about certain other bad things happening of late all over the country and/or world. Other than to say that I hate all the rioting and wantonly needless death, unwarranted destruction, or damaging of important public memorials, monuments, buildings, and other historical reminders, et cetera, that's happening now all over.

Please stay as safe as you can in these troublesome times, and remember to keep your eyes on our Lord and God as best as you can, for as long as you can, EC. He'll always look out for and provide for His own, if they continue to follow Him as best as they can, I'm sure. He certainly has for me many times, and I have no doubt that He will always do so for me if I continue to follow Him as best as I can.

Hope we meet someday in person, whether in this life or the next, if not both, Eugene. Shalom. CD out.

Chances are quite good, I think, that chapter eight will be done in first-draft status within a day or two. Here's hoping that happens, of course. It's getting good, and interesting, it seems. Looking forwards to finally being able to move to the next chapter of this story, after likely working on it for at least a month or two, if not longer, every so often and all.

Hoping to be able to complete chapter nine somehow by the end of July, and finish each subsequent chapter by the end of each month, too, Lord willing. There's quite a bit of story yet to write, though, so I'm not actually expecting the final-draft version of the entire story to be done before the end of 2021, at the earliest, in truth.

I hope you all live long enough to perhaps be able to read it, folks, if and when I'm ever able to get it published for profit somehow, for sure. Especially those of you who are older folks around here, as well. Well, I should probably close this post, and see if I can't get the chapter done by the time I hit the bed tonight, then, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Chapter eight apparently completed in first-draft state a bit ahead of schedule. Hoping I can get started with work on chapter nine by the middle of next week, at the latest. Was a real challenge to get done here, for sure, in any case.

I hope you eventually are able to read it somehow, Lord willing, EC. But that may not be possible for a while, though, if at all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Chapter nine started, will keep you posted. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Doesn't appear that Norman Lear was affiliated in any way with M*A*S*H as a producer, according to Wikipedia, EC. But Larry Gelbart, for instance, was. Just so you know, for future reference. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Eugene, your life on this planet may end soon, or not, but you are by no means old, in comparison with the length of time that eternity has already had or will have in the future. Eighty years or so is nothing against thousands, if not millions or billions or trillions, of years, at least, that will exist in eternity once this Universe is no more, and the eternal one is in existence. Although this Universe that we know of to date may be less than ten thousand years old, at most, in truth, the Universe to come will be as eternal as our Lord and our Creator is, has been, and always will be.

I am not yet fifty years old myself, but even the current length of my life is but a mere vapor compared to the infinite span of time in eternity, past, present, and future, for sure. Even six thousand or so years of known global and Universal history is nothing compared to the infinite passage of time in eternity, once Jesus makes everything perfect in the Universe to come like it should have been all this time in this Universe, if not an even better Universe, in truth.

You are young in God's eyes, and you will always remain young, if you continue to follow Him as best as you can while you are still here on this planet, and continually read and meditate on His Word every single day of your life, even if your mortal body is declining in physical health and all, I'm sure. In a little while, we'll be Home forever, if we are His, as Amy Grant says in one of her songs. What a day that will be when we will be able to see our Creator and Saviour face-to-face forever, and walk on streets of gold, among other things we'll be able to do, for sure.

Will write more later, as possible, when possible, and all, EC. Lord willing, of course, that is. Hope you are well, and I hope to somehow finish this next chapter by the end of the current month, if I can, as well. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Chapter nine well underway at present, but don't know yet just how much of the current text for it will be sufficiently useful if and when I finally get the entire story done. Will keep you posted, of course. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Two uniforms just made for a potential team in my fictional nation of Zeelaca. No caps yet, but got an idea or two for a possible team in some league or other, while trying to figure out what to put next into my latest story. Hope you like them. Probably will need more work, of course, but here's what I have so far for a potential team called the Okinyonga Wrens. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Two more uniforms I just made for a team in my fictional land of Helvarta, based in the nation's capital, and using the national colors as main colors in their uniforms. I don't have caps or logos made for them yet, while still working as much as I can on my latest story, mind you, but here's what I have created for that potential team called the Helvarta City Hounds so far.

I may need to go font-hunting again soon for more fonts I can use later on in various graphics-type things. But we'll have to see, of course, when and if that will be necessary and possible, of course.

That's all for now, at least, I think. Got things to do in a while, and all, for sure, folks. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Couple of new uniforms, for a potential, if not current or past, team in any of my dynasties, whether past, present, and/or future ones, called the Samonu Hares, in my fictional nation of Egrochedalli. Did them a bit ago, but don't yet have caps or logos made up for them, in truth. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Three uniforms for a potential team from another fictional land of mine called Vobasalia that I just made in memory of my Homegone brother's departure from this world seven years ago today. No caps or logos yet, however, just the same. That's all for now, I think. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Two new uniforms for another potential Egrochedallian team called the Tuscamibsha Librarians. Don't have caps made for them yet, nor logos, but this is what I have for them currently, just the same, to be honest. That is all. CD out.

[Clovidequano Dovatha]

Think I may have finished a preliminary version of chapter nine in first-draft state for my latest story, but not sure yet. If so, it will probably be about another month or so before I make any more new requests here on the forums, just so you know, folks. Just wanted to give you all a progress report here.

I'll also try to post more on my various dynasty threads in the near future, in terms of actual progress for them, as time permits, and all. But that may still not happen for at least a little while yet, to be honest.

In the meantime, we'll have to see what happens for us all, Lord willing, of course. Eugene, you seem to have been rather quiet of late, in regards to my threads. Are things okay with you right now? Just wondering, that's all. I've seen you posting in your threads, but have you been quite busy of late, too, outside of posting?

That's all for now, I think, folks. Please try to take care and all, then, as best as you can and all, even in these crazy and difficult times. CD out.
