What Perfect Weather Does to Me

This week is an absolute killer right before Spring Break, so there probably won't be another post in the near future. This one is even a cop-out in itself, but I'm swamped until Thursday. Between the school work I'm just gearing up for Opening Day at the end of the month. Hopefully I'll be in the bleachers for that one vs. the Brew. Maybe it's the optimist in me but I'm really feeling like we're going to have a great year. Really expecting great things out of our big guys.

On the other side of things, both of the college hoops teams I follow lost tough ones yesterday. IU getting absolutely destroyed up at Michigan State. Who would have thought that they'd mail in a game that would have given them at least a split of the Big Ten title. Very telling for future big games they have to get up for. As for Arizona, what a tough loss. Bad last possession, but we'll move on...hopefully they can do enough to get in the tournament. I don't want that 23 straight season streak to be broken.

Yesterday was the nicest day of the year. And probably in turn was my favorite day so far of 2008. I mean, can you really beat sitting outside all day, getting your arm loose and tossing bags around while sipping a few brews. It was a good enough day to just lie in the grass and look at the clouds, as soft as that may sound it happened. Cook a good meal out of the grill on top of that and you've got a perfect day. Finish off with a nightcap out on the porch with Van Morrison playing. I don't know if you can beat it.

Well, that's all I've got for today, so til my next poorly written post, go about your daily lives and maybe listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon with the lights off...or something wild like that. Also, I guess I'll make it a thing to make a song recommendation per post. So today's has got to be "Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits. Not really sure why, it's just come on my iTunes a few times lately and I dig it. You and me babe, how 'bout it.
