I'll be making my first ever visit to Cooperstown in May. I'll be bowling in the National Tournament in Syracuse, and the group of us decided we ought to see the Hall of Fame and Niagara Falls on our drive back.
For any of you who have been there, how much time should I plan on spending there?

Set aside a full day. Go to the HOF first thing so you can spend as much time in there as you need....depending on how big a baseball fan you are, there is easily enough stuff to catch your attention for the full day itself.
George Michael weighed his options. Maeby had chastised him for not taking risks, and what would be a bigger risk than perpetuating a lie about software just to ignite the passions of a woman? Of course it would be a lie, and since Maeby wouldn't know it was a lie, he wouldn't appear to be taking a risk. Perhaps the bigger risk was to tell his father he was lying, that he came up with it because he wanted his father to leave so he could enjoy what remained of his senior year. After all, he wondered, wouldn't that be the course of action taken by an overtly sexual man, a man who owns a pair of matador pants? He had not responded now for 41 seconds according to his unfailing internal clock, and it was time to come clean.
The actual town of Cooperstown is quite nice. Kinda' reminded me of the town in John Candy's "The Great Outdoors". The main street is also lined with lots of complimentary baseball-related shops and restaurants. Lot of historic buildings as well. So my suggestion is don't zero-in on the Hall of Fame; check out some of the other stuff as well.
Cool news. We've changed our travel plans. We're going out on Saturday instead of Sunday, and will spend all day Sunday and then Monday until early afternoon in Cooperstown.
Thanks for the advice.

Prior is supposed to pitch today (Saturday) in Iowa. With the injuries the Cubs have had (Zambrano and Gonzalez) I would expect them to call up Prior sometime this week.
