I’m soooo glad that Nicie and I worked out our disagreement! I don’t know what I would have done if I’d lost her forever! Best friends are so hard to find!

Overprotected?
Do you think parents are overprotective these days? It seems like kids can’t have a childhood these days. You probably could blame it on the news, as it seems like every day, you hear/see things about kids being kidnapped, molested, murdered, and otherwise abused. Concern is one thing, paranoia is another! Parents, while it is true that these things happen, it doesn’t meant that it will automatically happen to your child. Let them get out and play, just keep an eye on them, and teach them how to deal with strangers!
So This Is How It Ends….
After 10 years, you quit being my best friend because you don’t like someone I talk to? Grow up Nicie!

Open Season On Pitchers
Looks like every day this spring training you’ve seen a pitcher go down for an extended period of time or the whole season due to injury:
The Braves Have lost %40 of their starting rotation, As both Kris Medlan and Brandon Beachy will miss the whole season due to each having to undergo Tommy John surgery on their elbows for the second time in their careers.
Patrick Corbin of the Diamondbacks, a 2013 All Star, will also miss the season due to Tommy John Surgery., As will the A’s Jarrod Parker.
The Red’s Aroldis Chapman, he of the 105 MPH Fastball, will miss a month after needing surgery after getting hit in the face with a line drive.
Perhaps this is a hint that the human elbow is not built to throw at a high velocity.

The Sad Shape Of Things
This article about a Michigan woman who died in the back of her car and wasn’t discovered for 6 months shows how perhaps we have become an uncaring society. Even if she had her bills auto payed, even if she traveled for her job, even if she had her mail put on hold, don’t you think one of her neighbors would have come over one day just to look and say hi, look to see if everything was OK? None of her family didn’t care that she never called or anything? Sad……
Farewell Katherine!
We’ll Miss you! Your 500 years of running, and causing trouble have come to an end! It’s too bad you can’t be with Nadia on the Other Side. The mother-daughter reunion was way to short!

More Turmoil In The World….
Do you think that the US should do anything about the Russia/Ukraine crisis? Sanctions? Diplomatic intervention? Peacekeeping forces? Or do nothing and let the chips fall where they may?

Spring Is Here! (Sort of)
Spring Training begins soon, and we’ll see how my Baltimore Orioles will do. Competing in the AL East, probably MLB’s toughest division isn’t easy when you have 18 games a season each with the Yankees, Red Sox, Rays, And Blue Jays, teams with some of the game’s best players ( Jeter, Ortiz, Longoria, Bautista among them) . But the O’s aren’t bad either. Can Chris Davis have another monster season? Can Tommy Hunter succeed as the closer? Who will be the last starter after Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez, Wei-Yin Chen, and Bud Norris? Will they be able to resign Matt Weiters and JJ Hardy before they hit free agency next year? And several other questions…

No Free Lunch
This episode in a Utah elementary school, where several students had their lunches taken away from them and thrown away because their accounts were low or at negative balance could have been handled better on both sides. First off, perhaps the lunch line could be rearranged, with the students having their cards checked to see if they had enough funds on them. We know that it’s policy that the food had to be thrown away, as unseemly as it looks. And on the kids/parents side, did they really need to go on TV?
