Busy doing something close to nothing
It's so easy to fill a day as you go: Get up and stroll across the street for Crispy Creme donuts and a cup of coffee, read the paper and watch cartoons, stroll a block across the street to the beach.
Today we actually got in the car and drove to Lakeland to watch the Detroit Tigers practice during spring training. That was pretty cool. We managed to get a lot of autographs of the players. I gave Tara a ball and a pen and held her up to some of the players, who couldn't resist the blue eyes and smile of a five year old girl amidst a lot of middle age and older guys who are baseball memorabilia collectors. Catcher Vance Wilson asked Tara her name; she told him and he smiled and said, "what a cutie."
We get worn out after our long days of doing something close to nothing. And we only have one day left. We go home on Friday. Is the snow gone yet?
