@CornyOConnell @wfuv The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips summer kisses sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long & soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

[John Cirillo @JohnnySportsMan]

So long Summer! Welcome Fall!

Today is National Cheeseburger Day, celebrated annually on Sept. 18, a food holiday honors the classic combination of a beef patty & melted cheese. The observance traces back to 1926 in Pasadena, CA when Lionel Sternberger dropped a slice of American cheese onto a sizzling burger

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Peter Falk, born on September 16, 1927, in New York City, my all-time favorite actor and good friend! Columbo was the best!

Happy Heavenly Birthday to “The Murph” — Bob Murphy, my all-time favorite! Robert Allan Murphy (Sept. 19, 1924 – Aug. 3, 2004) was an amazing sportscaster who spent 50 years doing play-by-play of MLB games on TV & radio. Best known for PBP of the NY Mets, from 1962-2003.

The U.S. Air Force was officially founded 79 years ago on September 18, 1947. President Harry Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947. This act separated the air arm from the U.S. Army to create an independent branch.

Call this one Pirating a Menu: Fans old enough to recall will remember in the good old days when Ralph Kiner, Lindsay and the Murph would share a laugh on Pirates’ carnivorous pitching staff of Bob Veale, Ray Lamb and Bob Moose.

@CornyOConnell @wfuv Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright

@CornyOConnell @wfuv Tumble out of bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
And yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin'
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumpin'
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
