Back at it...

March the 5th. A litle over a month to go before Opening Day. So here we are, back at the ball yard, getting back in order for the new season. Tim and Knute have been at it for most of the last few weeks of February, getting things done as the weather allowed. So here we all are again, after a long layoff, doing what we can to get the field into tiptop shape for the 2011, 25th Anniversary season. 25 years. And I'll have been around for 16 of them. Doesn't seem possible. We'll be back on successive Saturdays for the whole month of March, weather permitting. The way the weather has been this winter, things are shaping up for a cold, wet, Spring. Not my idea of a good time. But it's great to get back out on the field, to play in the dirt and hang out with the gang. Didn't realize how much I've missed that gang until we got together and caught up on what was happening in their lives the past 6 months. Well, it's been several weeks since I've been able to get back to this entry, so I'll just leave things the way they are and move on to the next segment and try to catch up.
