Post

I am pinched for time here lately, and will be through next weekend's celebratory activities. Suffice it to say that this week will bring about the (ceremonial) change in command in my little corner of the world. It has been wild: an emotional month, and things are just gettin' started. There will be lots to blog about. But not right now.

Must be contagious

What is this? National Play Hookie Day?
This was my view from Section 212, Row 2, Seat 14. Derrick Turnbow (TN native...ugh, I know) on the mound in the 7th. Brew Crew wins vs. Pittsburgh 7-5. 1st place, NL-central. Winning is fun, different, and I am waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Life imitating art

I have become a good Brewers fan since the Spring of 2003.
I am especially proud of Milwaukee baseball right now. Not because of anything our team has done (though they are on an up-swing), but because we have been able to bring life back to the game for the fans of Cleveland and Los Angeles.
The Commiss ("Bud") is a local fella, and was wise enough in the late '90's to add a retractable roof to the plans for his ball club (currently the only option in winter-impacted zones). And now that he is no longer the owner and soley the head-honcho of MLB, he can send 2 AL teams to Milwaukee in order to avoid SNOW. Can you believe it?! Just like in the film.
We might not have much right now, but we have a love for the game. 50,000+ in a 3 game series for 2 out-of-market teams. If I were an f-ing Cubs fan, I'd say that we deserve your respect. But, I am a Milwaukeean. We just say, "have another."
Go Brewers.

There's nothin' soft about hard times

I have had a draft blog that I've been working on for a while, and I just can't get it right. It's a source of frustration, compounded by the frustration of the said draft's topic. I'll take a nod from B. David and bulletize it.

• Girl.
• She had feeling in her gut that she couldn't shake.
  
• We Ross-n-Rachel-ed at her request.
  
• 2 months went by as she was spending time "re-focusing life priorities."
• Potential new opportunity with her.

Honestly, this is about all I can verbalize about the $hizzle right now. I am my mind's own worst enemy. Who needs a devil's advocate when you've got the left side of your own brain? Maybe I'll be able to articulate more soon and thus "resurrect" the draft into a POST!

Withdrawal

I feel like withdrawing from the world. I want to stay underground in my hovel. Flurries and no temperature in the next 7 days above 40F. Damn. Happy Spring - sha!
There are times in the really hare-core part of the winter - negative temps (Farenheit) with wind chills that are hard to mentally conceive, much less physically endure - when I can't help but ponder: "Why did the original settlers think that this is an appropriate area for human exsistence?" I can't imagine experiencing that kind of weather 200-300 years ago, without the creature comforts of today.
How can people with good reason feel that this is a place to?....oh wait, I think I just answered my own half-question.
Go Brewers.
