A return to baseball

This morning, a radio DJ informed me the Washington Nationals would be playing a spring training game against the Florida Marlins. The stadium is less than an hour from me, and I had nothing better to do, so after thinking about it, I decided I had an afternoon date at Roger Dean Stadium!

It was good to see the guys again. Lastings Milledge looked great at the top of the order. Austin Kearns had a good eye and smooth moves. Garrett Mock impressed as a closer. The real heroes were starting pitcher Shawn Hill and reliever Jordan Zimmermann, a newcomer. Josh Towers wasn't bad as a reliever either; I can't figure out where he was last season, but I welcome him.

I got pulled over driving my girlfriend's car on the way to the stadium. Apparently, her registration isn't up to date. Well, it would be if today were last June, but the state trooper didn't agree with my argument. So, it looks like I have some fines to pay, and I also must strongly encourage her to get that registration thing taken care of!

The kids are doing well. I sometimes don't get 100 percent acceptance by all of them, but hey, life would be too boring if everything worked out perfectly all the time! Which is why that cop pulled me over, eh?
