The good news is that we have passed the median, and there are fewer days until Spring than there have already been of Winter. I do envy those West Coast dwellers who get the experience of the coming of Spring a bit earlier than we do here in the East. Susan copied me on an e-mail to a friend of ours, in which she comments on how this seems a longer Winter than most. Maybe it is the colder weather as opposed to the recently more mild ones we've enjoyed, she muses. Of course, she also wonders if she is maybe crazy to think it is a slower and more drawn out Winter, and she notes that she is eagerly awaiting the beginning of The Baseball Season.
Baseball is part of what makes our lives go 'round.
Spring Training begins in a matter of days. If you are a baseball fan, or one who loves evocative writing, concise and from the heart, read it , and enjoy. Springtime means more than Baseball. My friend Alan and I went to dinner the other night. Alan, always one to plan ahead, clearly had Springtime events on his mind.
