 Watching the frozen tundra, I had a spring thought

    The Cubs open at home March 26.  10 days.  It better warm up by then.

    John, Dan, Linda and I used to buy game packs.  We always did the Friday afternoon pack but that ended with Covid.

    The worst games were March and April, when we seemed to have 2 or 3 of the games.  It was always chilly at the Confines.

    The White Sox catch a break.  They open in Milwaukee, which has a dome, and then go to Florida, which is just hot.

    I put off going to the store until 4 today.  That was a nerve wracking  drive.

    Flagg Road was ice.  I thought of turning around, but then I thought heck, it has to get better.  It did not.  At one point I figured I was half way there and the road would surely get better. It did not.

    Jackie has a doctor appointment in Sycamore tomorrow and I am concerned about the roads.  As cold as it is, the roads may not be much better than they were tonight.

    Time will tell.

    I watched the USA/DR game last night.  For 2 teams that hit a lot of  home runs, a 2-1 game was not wha I expected.

    And not to belabor the baseball angle, the last pitch, the one that struck out the DR batter on a full count, was no where near the strike zone. 

    USA caught a break.

    But, that is life in the  bigs.

    Speaking of bigs, Kevin K was a big help the other night.  For some reason, I moved Jackie's chair when she went to sit.  She ended up on. the floor in the bathroom.  I called Emily, but she did not answer because her phone  was on do not disturb. .  Found out later if I had called back, the call would have gone through.

    But Kevin came to the rescue.

    No blood, no foul.  All was well.

 Peace and Love

        Especially Peace
