Dykstra (Lenny) – Going to Jail

Dykstra Boat and Home

Those are Susan’s and David’s – not Lenny’s. (More information on our boat and home is on the Happy Hours blog.) We are NOT related to Lenny Dykstra! I’ve often been asked if I am related to him. I liked it better when he was a baseball superstar.

Lenny, a former star with the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, was sentenced yesterday in California to three years in prison. He pleaded no contest to grand-theft auto and providing false financial statements. He had previously pleaded not guilty to 25 charges including indecently exposing himself to females he met on Craigslist and possession of cocaine, Ecstasy and illegal synthetic hormones. You can read more in almost every major news publication, including Sports Illustrated/CNN.

“ . . . lovely hostess gift, stocking stuffer, and to someone visiting from out of town.”
“ . . . different way to read about an area of the country that I like to visit, I couldn’t put it down!”
“ Great way to tour the Seattle Area!”
“ . . . fascinating book! . . . sense of having boated around the Lake without leaving his/her armchair.”
“ I love history and this was an unexpected bonus of the book.”
“ Now all the *@X!?&* Californians like Dykstra are going to move to Washington!!!”
“. . . must have for any Seattle area Realtor.”
From the Mercer Island Reporter:“Dykstra’s guide book is not just a ‘map to the stars’ for Lake Washington; it’s a document of history, geography and commercial industry.”
