Jean Pickering Collins is one of my heroes.  Every time I have the opportunity to chat with her she's been on a new adventure.  It astounds me that she accomplishes so much and she makes such beautiful quilts.  I don't know how she has gotten it all done.  And then here locally whenever her name comes up people have such glowing remarks to share about her. If you didn't listen to my first interview with Jean from July 12th of 2019, you'll want to go back and listen to her story. It's hard to believe that on July 12, 2019 I released my first three episodes of A Quilter's Life.  I purposely chose Jean to do this second interview to celebrate 5 years of recording and sharing stories of quilters.  Life happens and I ended up in the hospital overnight with bad headaches and double vision.  I am still dealing with these symptoms, but as the doctors help me to figure out what's going on I'm still able to share these stories with you even with a few delays. When I arrived at Jean's for this interview it was a beautiful day, so we left the doors open.  While listening you'll figure out why that became a problem. You've also probably noticed that the first interview her name was Jean Pickering and in this interview we've added Collins.  Again, this adventurous lady will explain all of that. This is the Trip Around the World Quilt Jean made for her husband, Bill Collins. This quilt Jean made for her college class reunion in 2005. After the interview Jean showed me several of her quilts.  This Dresden Plate covers her bed. We started talking about small piecing and she pulled out this tiny Clam Shell she had done. Here are the tableclothes that Jean picked up in France and Portugal. If you missed Jean's prior interview here's the link: Jean Pickering

When the pandemic hit, Bill's home poker group couldn't meet in person to play, so he asked his fresh-out of college son to use that new computer science degree to write some software that would enable he and his buddies to play a high-low game called 7-27, along with a video interface. Within a few days, Bill and his crew were up and running playing a basic game over the internet. Seeing his group “together” laughing, playing cards, and having a great time was the spark that started PokerCows. Bill figured if his group was having this much fun with one basic game, imagine what a platform with a variety of games and options could deliver. In March of 2023, PokerCows beta-launched with 15 dealer's choice games, including No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em. PokerCows provides a private table environment for friends and family to play dealer's choice poker games. You can make them as crazy as you want with options ranging from “low hole wild” to “roll your own” to “high-low split.” It's designed for fun and to bring friends and family together along with all the laughs that accompany a home dealer's choice poker game. Bill and I had a lot of fun talking about his new endeavor as well as plenty other topics. 00:00 Start 00:05 TPG, Inc.

The other day, I wrote on the We Can Pod It Out show notes, “an extensive accompanying newsletter that I hope to write” could be part of this episode. Sorry to tell you that it is not, but glad to tell you that my digital journalism urge to do power rankings of baseball managers' celebratory throwability was beaten back. Instead, please enjoy this video of Tsuyoshi Shinjo, whose exploits in Japan we discussed on this show, throwing out Robin Ventura by so much at third base, Ty Wigginton had to look for him.That play was in 2003, when Shinjo hit .193/.238/.246 with no stolen bases and only four extra-base hits in 124 plate appearances… and still was above replacement level (0.2 bWAR) because of his defense.That got me curious, and rather than expand on things said on a podcast, why not stay true to Willets Pen style, and use this as an opportunity to learn something weird.Thanks to Stathead, here are the most plate appearances in a season for players with positive WAR and negative oWAR (the offensive component)…Warren Cromartie, 1979 Montreal Expos: 710 (1.8, -0.3)Rico Brogna, 1999 Phillies: 679 (0.2, -0.2)Bill Collins, 1910 Boston Doves: 660 (0.2, -1.0)Rick Bosetti, 1979 Blue Jays: 657 (0.5, -0.3)Manny Trillo, 1976 Cubs: 649 (0.2, -0.2)…and for Britt's sake…Pedro Feliz, 2006 Giants: 644 (1.8, -0.2)The top one of these seasons for the 21st century, when we have more reliable WAR components, is something for sure.For the Mets, the guy you'd probably expect is on the team list (on which Shinjo's 2003 ranks 52nd in team history), but not at the top…Hubie Brooks, 1983: 624 (0.2, -0.7)Rey Ordoñez, 1999: 588 (2.8, -0.4)Jeromy Burnitz, 2002: 550 (0.1, -0.1)Ordoñez, 1996: 530 (0.9, -0.1)Jeff Francoeur, 2010: 447 (1.1, -0.6)For a full career, Ordoñez ranks 11th in baseball history at 3,407 plate appearances with a 1.2 career WAR and -3.7 career oWAR. The top 10?Tim Foli (1970-85): 6,573 (5.6, -0.3)Neifi Pérez (1996-2007): 5,510 (2.6, -3.4)César Izturis (2001-13): 4,679 (6.1, -0.9)John Corkhill (1883-92): 4,614 (5.1, -2.1)Pedro Feliz (2000-10): 4,544 (5.6, -0.7)Malachi Kittridge (1890-1906): 4,464 (1.6, -0.2)Jimmy McAleer (1889-1907): 4,423 (1.5, -3.0)Mike Lum (1967-81): 3,999 (5.1, -0.1)Hugh Nicol (1881-90): 3,825 (4.1, -0.9)Mark Lemke (1988-98): 3,664 (6.1, -1.7)Kittridge is interesting because his name jumps out, and because he's 45th all-time in career passed balls with 202. But for context, that's one fewer than Hall of Famer Jim O'Rourke, 108 fewer than Hall of Famer Connie Mack, 158 fewer than Hall of Famer Buck Ewing, 218 fewer than Hall of Famer King Kelly, 289 fewer than Hall of Famer Wilbert Robinson, 303 fewer than Hall of Famer Deacon White… and 561 behind all-time passed ball king Pop Snyder.Want to talk about the unbreakable records in sports? Pop Snyder had SEVEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY-THREE PASSED BALLS. Drew Smith threw 780 pitches for the Mets last season. Casey Stengel sure was right about the Mets picking Hobie Landrith at the start of their expansion draft, that without a catcher, you have a lot of passed balls… but in the era he grew up in, it didn't seem to matter.The active leader in passed balls, Yasmani Grandal, has 92. There were seven seasons in the 19th century where that wouldn't have led the league, from Rudy Kemmier's record 114 in 1883 to Doc Bushong's 95 in 1881.Only one post-integration player is even in the top 50 all time for passed balls, and it's eight-time All-Star Lance Parrish, who had 192 of ‘em from 1977-95 with the Tigers, Phillies, Angels, Mariners, Cleveland, Pirates, and Blue Jays.In 600 major league games this year, there's been a total of 31 passed balls. In 1884, there were 3,907 in 3,074 games. So, from 1.27 passed balls per game to 0.05 passed balls per game, all in just a matter of 139 easy years! This is a public episode.

Racing historian Dennis Najim recently sent me audio recordings of some of Galilee's memorable wins in Melbourne in the  mid 1960's. The NZ bred stayer dominated the Victorian Spring carnival of 1966 winning the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups in dominant fashion. The following autumn Galilee trounced his opposition in the Sydney Cup becoming the first horse to win the big treble in the same season- a distinction he still holds. The pigeon toed gelding with the suspect action was once described by jockey John Miller as an “express train”. This tribute features race calls by legendary commentators Bill Collins, Bert Bryant and Ken Howard. Thanks to Dennis Najim and Supernova Sound we're delighted to present a tribute to one of the best horses of his generation.

In this episode of BackTable ENT, Dr. Varun Varadarajan and Dr. Gopi Shah discuss their personal advice and stories of navigating the challenges of a dual physician household with Dr. Bill Collins, chief of Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Athletic Greens https://www.athleticgreens.com/backtableent --- SHOW NOTES In this episode of BackTable ENT, Dr. Varun Varadarajan and Dr. Gopi Shah discuss their personal advice and stories of navigating the challenges of a dual physician household with Dr. Bill Collins, chief of Pediatric Otolaryngology at the University of Florida College of Medicine. First, the doctors discuss the considerations involved in deciding to participate in the couples match. They agree that it is best to keep larger cities with multiple programs in mind when forming a rank list but note that the match can also be complicated if one partner is choosing to pursue a more competitive specialty. Additionally, although staying together would be ideal, couples might not have another choice besides engaging in a long-distance relationship during residency and fellowship. Dr. Collins highlights the importance of finding program directors and other mentors who can help to maintain value in relationships during training. During residency applications and beyond, he emphasizes that communication, honesty, and compromise are key to sustaining a strong relationship. Next, they discuss raising children in dual physician households. All three doctors agree that there is no “perfect” time to have children because it depends on the circumstances and preferences of every couple. If a couple wanted to have a child during both of their residencies, they would also have to consider the long uncontrollable hours of residency as well as the need for extensive child care. Additionally, Dr. Collins emphasizes that physician schedules will remain busy, even after residency, so it is important to schedule concrete family time sooner than later. Dr. Shah mentions the difficulty surgeons have with separating work from home and Dr. Varadarajan encourages them to devote quality time to their kids before getting on their phones to answer emails and finish notes. Lastly, the doctors consider scenarios in which one partner is seeking a job change. Although being further along in their careers and having older children may complicate the job search and moving demands, all three doctors agree that decisions should be made for the overall good of the family. Thus, all factors and possibilities should be considered and discussed. Finally, Dr. Shah emphasizes the importance of having discussions about family planning with medical residents and medical students in order to open channels for advice and mentorship.

Sometimes, rock and roll dreams can get waylaid, subdued, or even killed by the signing of the line which is dotted. This episode would take 1,000 hours if we only include black artists from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. And '70s, '80s, and '90s. And '00s and '10s. So I just focused on the easy-hanging fruit that is the people who ALSO profited from the hard work of black musicians to make their palatable caucasian crafting.    Adam VIII John Lennon "Roots" Commercial (1975)   What a shitty, washed-out picture. This gives you the idea that Morris Levy just wanted to fuck with Lennon to pay him back for his hubris. Devout (at the time) fans of Lennon like me were perplexed when the last track on "Walls And Bridges" was a strangely shoddy cover of "Ya Ya" with Julian Lennon on drums. Little did we know that that was John Lennon "fulfilling a legal obligation". Just like a junkie would. I don't think anyone would think of Morris Levy as anything but a very sleazy anti-art leech, but that little joke was probably the last straw. "What the fuck is this washed-up hippy doing, and does he know what I can do to him?" Did this whole thing sour Lennon on recording more music, and did he sense his own waning desire to compete with McCartney and use this whole sorry escapade as a good excuse to spend some time in Japan?  Lennon was as dishonest and immature as he was gifted, and we will never know for sure.  The insert. Almost as insulting as "The Wedding Album".  Marvin Gaye - Where Are We Going? (1972) I talk to you like you know at least something about popular music. If you don't, let me be the first to tell you that Marvin Gaye recorded an album AFTER "What's Going On" and BEFORE "Let's Get It On". "You're The Man" was intended as another socially conscious record like "What's Going On" (1971), but following the release of its lead single, the title track "You're The Man", [ed: and the lack of positive reaction to same] Gaye canceled its release. [ed: I like this record a lot.] This was in part due to the reception of the song, as well as the fact that Gaye's political views were different from those of Motown founder Berry Gordy. For these reasons, "You're The Man" was long considered a lost album. Marvin Gaye - You're The Man (Pts. I&II) (1972) Marvin Gaye - The World Is Rated X (1972) Lou Reed - Metal Machine Music (1975) Like The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, etc., some artists tend to benefit from revisionist history. No, "Metal Machine Music" is not a deep, thoughtful cry for help from a misunderstood genius. This was nothing but a big "fuck you" to RCA, which is sad to me because there were so many more talented, interesting, and profound artists than Lou Reed, struggling for royalties, swimming against the tide of record comp.....wait. Maybe he had a point.  ...but it's STILL not as bad as "Having Fun On Stage With Elvis". Badfinger - Apple Of My Eye (1973) Lookie here.  Badfinger - Get Away (1973) So you all know the struggles that Badfinger enjoyed with Stan Polley, who once managed one of my favorite singers, Lou Christie. But Badfinger also suffered under the weight of the lethargic promotion afforded them by The Beatles and Apple Records. This was THEIR Contractual Obligation album, and it's not bad at all. Guys that talented could never turn in a clunker.  From Loudersound:  (In 1973) Apple was in disarray, but Badfinger – by far the label’s most successful artists after The Beatles – had further cause for complaint. Their original contract, drawn up in the days when Apple was living up to its fair-minded (i.e. hippy) ideals, offered a generous artist royalty of 5 percent, with Apple also paying for all recording and promotion expenses. Now, with legendary US tough guy Allen Klein running the company, the band were being asked to not only take a reduced royalty rate but also to pay recording costs. George Harrison, for one, was devastated at the loss from the label of a group he held dear, and allegedly (and uncharacteristically) confronted Bill Collins [ed: their manager since 1966) and said: “You guys fucked us after we did all that work for you.” Collins retorted that they had been unable to speak to their former champion directly (an accusation that rings true with all the superstar retinue surrounding the former Beatle), let alone with the formidable Klein. In retrospect, Badfinger’s departure marked the beginning of the end of Apple as anything other than a ‘vanity’ label for John, Paul, George, and Ringo. But the inevitable payback was Apple issuing Ass (as the 1973 album ended up being rather unflatteringly called) as a spoiler three months ahead of the band’s debut for their new label. As it transpired, Ass would be the final non-Beatles album to appear on Apple (it reached No. 122 in the US). One track, Pete Ham’s Apple Of My Eye, was a genuinely fond farewell to their former paymasters, and he contributed only one other; much of the music was written by Joey Molland, which gave it a different feel. Al Steckler, the man who had given Badfinger ‘their’ gold disc in New York City, was later incredibly revealing to Stefan Granados, author of the invaluable Apple history Those Were The Days (Cherry Red Books) when he outlined the contract Badfinger signed with Warner Brothers. A band at the peak of their powers, with a track record of US success and the Beatles’ imprimatur, might have thought their next record deal would set them up for life. Not so. The advance, which looked good on paper, was $2 million for, Steckler told Granados: “something like six albums. After they signed, Bill Collins and Pete Ham told me what the advance was and I figured it out for them. When you deducted the cost of the albums they had to pay for, deducted Polley’s cut, and split the money between Collins and the four guys in the group, it came out to nothing… $60,000 apiece per album. They’d really thought they were millionaires. They looked at each other and realized that I was right and that it was too late to do anything about it. Peter had this horrible look on his face… it was the last time I saw him.” Badfinger - Timeless (1973) Bonzo Dog Band - King of Scurf (1971) Neil Innes wrote music for Monty Python and starred in "All You Need is Cash" with Eric idle. He was brilliant and he wrote songs that you know but don't know that it was him. I never liked this group, but as I mentioned in my show, they were in Magical Mystery Tour. These songs were recorded in 1971, a few years after they broke up. But the United Artists label pointed the Fickle Finger of Fate at the boys, and we have this.  Bonzo Dog Band - The Strain (1971)  Bonzo Dog Band - Bad Blood (1971) ELP - Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman (1978) The Mamas and the Papas - Blueberries For Breakfast (1971) Like the Bonzos, they were gently reminded by the bean-counters at Dunhill that there was some unfinished business. So they created this. Again, not that bad!  The Mamas and the Papas - Lady Genevieve (1971) For a drug-addled, amoral daughter-fucker, John Phillips sure wrote a lot of songs about his wife.  The Mamas and the Papas - Pacific Coast Highway (1971) The Mamas and the Papas - People Like Us (1971)
