Spring

I have a firm believe that my gloomy spring is a result of the earthquake in Japan.  I have lived in northern California for what is now the 8th spring season.  Never before have I seen the constant cold/rain/inconsistent weather we are currently getting.  Meteorologist just keep forecasting rain.  What a great job those guys have.  Look at the sky and some weather maps.  Make some shit up.  Get a check.

I am really looking forward to baseball season this year.  I was pretty depressed for most of last year for a large number of reasons and never got into the baseball season.  I pretty much lost interest all together by mid-July last season.  It figured to be the same this year, but I started planning for fantasy baseball early, started eating better and lost some weight, and got into a generally better mood.  So I'm back.

I have tickets to the Oakland A's season opener on the 1st.  They play the Mariners.  We grabbed one of those family four packs for what came to around $62 for seats, drinks, hot dogs, and peanuts for all.  And for being one of the first 32,000 fans, I get a free magnet schedule!!!  YEAH!  Pretty damn good deal considering the value of all of that is over $100.

So spring is kinda here where I'm at, I'm feeling better about myself and life, and baseball is here.  Oh, and I just got an awesome new sofa and my kitchen is being renovated withing the next few weeks.  Good times.
