Other than the most basic of necessities, like being showered and fed and adjusted and suctioned (to name a few), I really don’t ask for a lot of things. Just give me my eye gaze, recliner, flat screen, and time to spend with family and friends, and I’m good to go.
However, that said, there are a couple of things that I need to ask you, the local Bay Area Adventures of ALS Boy blog-reading community, to procure for me.
The first item is a 2011 SF Giants schedule. I know that they are available online but I have my heart set on getting the kind they give away at the ballpark or at Giants Dugout stores. My plan is to have it taped onto the arm that supports my eye gaze so I can look at it each and every day. If you happen to score one of these bad boys and manage to get it to somebody who can get it to me, I will be most appreciative.
The other item is a bit more complicated and technologically challenging. It is also the culmination of a lifetime of personal musical performances so it is a project that is fairly high on the priority ladder.
I have a bunch of audio cassette recordings of me playing and singing in various bands over the last twenty-five years. The plan is to convert selected songs from those tapes into digital mp3 files.
What I need from you, should you be willing and able to assist in this endeavor, is to be the engineer who flips the switches and pushes the buttons. I have a laptop, a stereo, and a slightly more than vague idea of how to pull this off. (Hey, the directions are bookmarked).
If you are interested in doing this, I am happy to work around your schedule. Please leave a comment or send me an email at jasonp110@yahoo.com . Thank you.

Too far to help; sorry! Whenever you want a Mets or Yankees schedule, just send word. Meanwhile, go Cubs!
I’ll be at Friday’s game, so I’ll take care of the Giants schedule for you, Jason. I’d also be willing to help out with the recording process provided there’s someone who can give me a primer on how to do it.
Pasta,
Mail everything you need digitized to me. Cassettes, VHS, 8mm/super8 film, photos. Can’t do records or 8 track!

Dan,
Thank you so much for doing this for Jason. I mailed them today (4/9), and it should be arriving 4/14. You should receive 8 cassette tapes with little post-its in them telling you which songs to convert. Thanks a million!!!! Jason will be emailing you to discuss the details.

Giants? Cubs? Puh-leeze. Go Rockies.
