They went in. Cold. YSSS was in for 20 minutes. New world record.
Summer. Here it comes...

The Cover Is Off!!!
Later than I usually do it, I took the pool cover off on my day off. Have a couple of small tears in this cover (five years old), so I guess I'll be purchasing a new one come closing time (October round my parts).
Was cold up until Easter Sunday round here; now it's humid and warm most days. Who knew the Mid-Atlantic States had a two season climate.
Water is pretty clear, could use a little jump start, so I'll go to my local (not really) pool supply store to grab the chemicals and other stuff I need to get me headed in the right, and only, direction. To "aqua perfection".
And no doubt, the Sons of SoulSlam will want to jump in today after school. An annual ritual.
Sweet.

New Digs
Have a new office at the place of employment. Moved in this morning. Electricity doesn't work. Good thing I have a 1/2 day or I'd be SOL with the laptop.

Start Looking
NY beat writers love to stir the pot...so Adam Rubin has this in the NY Post.
I get trading Reyes, though it's probably (definitely) a mistake. You can't make up his production at a premium position with anybody on the farm. But trading Wright? I would say for many, that would be like the Tom Seaver Midnight Massacre in 1977. And I remember how sad I was as a kid when that happened.
So Mets fans sit and wait while Sandy the Scrapman basically dismantles what is for what it will be. Problem is, I don't think anybody knows.
Sad but true.

Redeye Boyo
Took the redeye from Vegas last night, landed at 5AM at JFK - walked into Casa de SoulSlam around 7AM. Beat like a mule right now, but YSSS is in the spelling bee at 10AM so I'm gonna go cheer him on.
Working with a massive headcold - the air at the hotel was deadly. Needing some air, I took in the Las Vegas 51's game on Tuesday night. Pacific Coast league baseball. Sweet.
But nothing compares to being home with the SoulSlam's.

Viva Las Vegas
In Sin City for work this week. Mandalay Bay. This is the place for people who have absolutely no self-control. Every vice is covered here. I mostly lay low, go to the events I have to attend and try to sleep through the 3 hour time difference.
Back home Thursday AM, taking a red-eye on Wednesday night. Check back then.

Titanic #2
Wow. Words cannot describe how bad this team is. Hope springs eternal, but a 4-9 record after a 3-1 start is a major downer.
Braves come in this weekend. They are 5-8. So there better be some drastic improvement or it's gonna be pretty late around here, in the 3rd week of April if you get my meaning.
