There is nothing like a couple days off to recharge the batteries and clear the cobwebs from an addled brain...and the fact that it was a weekend (a REAL weekend) made it all the better. I got some time to re-establish my sleep cycle to a more normal one...I am averaging 7-9 hours of sleep (guess that night shift took more of a toll than I thought). I want to see if I can get back to around 6 hours as daylight savings time (for all the rest of you, that is) comes back on March 8 this year...(I Googled it). The earlier sunrise presents more opportunity for tee times during the week and I plan on taking advantage of it. I played golf yesterday afternoon in shorts as it was 75 degrees and a bit cloudy...(I also saw that the temperature was 5 degrees in New York City for the NBA All-Star game...Sorry). I had several very good shots including an almost hole-in-one on one par 3 (the ball rested less than a foot from the cup) but the bad shots were terrifically bad and the need for practice never was more evident. So I am taking an hiatus from playing on the course...except for next Sunday when Eric comes to town... (which is easy because prices are still very high) and will focus myself on improving my fundamentals through practice. I still can't putt worth a damn, Victor, so working on the greens can't be a bad idea.
Spring training is right around the corner and the Boys of Summer will be returning to the Valley. My Mets will be in Florida and I have been reading their website and MLB.com to see if maybe this year I can watch a full season of baseball. Most years they are out of it by the All-Star Game (July) but they have a good group of young pitchers who could make it interesting in Queens this summer. Tentative plans are in the works for a summer trip back to the New York area this year, but there are many things that need to fall in place for that to happen. I will keep you posted on the progress of that. In the meantime, back here, my adopted Diamondbacks are probably going to stink the place up as everyone in their division (except the Colorado Rockies) has reloaded with players while the Dbacks have not...(so it looks like tickets will be available as most fans will be disguised as empty seats at Chase Field). The Mets come into Arizona for four games in early June including a weekend so I will save my pennies and get downtown to see my beloved (and extremely exasperating) Mets play.
I am liking this new shift very much...my ability to communicate with human beings is returning nicely as I see many during the day now...Have a great day and I will continue my return to the airways (internet style) very soon.
