Guess what? One week from today at this very moment Rose and I will be speeding southbound on I-75 headed for a week of Spring Training in Lakeland! Can't wait to hear the bat hit the ball and smell the leather of the gloves! Man oh man. Baseball at last. Warm weather at last.
So far this spring word out of Lakeland is positive. Players seem to be healthy and as usual everything is right with the world in Feb/March. We will see when April hits! Starting pitching will be the whole deal. If they pitch, the Tigers should compete. IF they don't it will be another long summer. Can't wait to be sitting in the stands behind home plate. Hereing the chatter, eating a hot dog and having some peanuts!
Whistlestop for breakfast and Sonny's Real Pit BBQ for dinner! And Baseball in between. This year will be a 30 year celebration of sorts. Feb 17th marked Rose and I 's 30th anniversary....seems like only yesterday!
I will try and post from Lakeland, but then again who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vacation is coming!
Well spring has given us a little glimpse the last couple of days. about 60 degrees yesterday and I got the Goldwing out for a little spin. It was good to get her out on the road for a few miles. We are in for cold weather again later in the week, but at least the snow is gone! Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pitchers and Catchers report to Lakeland on Friday and Rose and I are not far behind! We will be leaving on the 27th of February for a week of baseball and the beach....Rose says too much baseball and not enough beach! Imagine that. Heck only 5 games! that is not much?? Morning till night, non-stop baseball, what more can she ask.
Next Tuesday is our 30th wedding anniversay. That does not seem possible. But Mandy is 28 and Aaron 27 with kids of their own. But it is nice vacationing just Rose and I. It is so good to just get to spend time with her and get to experience the excitement of Spring Training in Lakeland....I am sure that is what Rose would say. Really it is just getting away from the day to day rat race that is life. Spending time not listening for the phone or anything else for that matter. Just her and I having some down time.
