After a warm, if somewhat breezy (and yesterday afternoon, rainy) weekend, it’s back to work today. But it’s a home day, to that takes the edge off a bit. We’re celebrating the first day of April with some snow (it’s snowing like crazy at the moment), so I guess maybe it was a good call to leave the chains on the tractor for a few more days. This is a somewhat typical way to start off trout season around here. No matter how crappy it is out there, Nine Mile Creek (which rhymes with “stick” and is actually about 25 miles long)) will be full of silly men (and a few women, I suppose, but mostly men) standing thigh deep in slightly warmer than freezing water trying to catch fish. Why? I dunno. I guess all the good fish must be gone after the first day.<\/p>\n
It appears I’m coming down with a bit of a cold (courtesy of my wife, who felt obliged to share hers with me). So far it’s just a little bit of a cough and a sore throat (plus some exhaustion, which may or may not be related). Right now, I just wish this week was over already.<\/p>\n
I just heard on the radio that Louisville Slugger is coming out with a new bat. I didn’t catch what’s new about it, though. Of course, if you’ve ever been to Cooperstown you know that all the big names back before 1953 used Kren’s bats, made in (you guessed it) Syracuse. Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mell Ott, Rogers Hornsby…. Unfortunately, Joe Kren died in 1953 and his ungrateful kids sold the company. Rotten kids.<\/p>\n
Oh well, I guess I’d better get back to work. It’s gonna be a loooong week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
