...that was hard, yet soft. That was wet, yet dry. That was dead, yet alive. It was Kerry.

"No, not just spring, it was something else as well. Something that made my hair stand on end. The increased static electricity that accompanies the appearance of a flying saucer. The Martians had finally invaded. This was my Independence Day."

"No, not just spring, it was something else as well. Something that walked in the door of my office. A dame. I stared at her. She was worth the stare. She had gams that when all the way up. Well, most of the way up, anyway. Seventy, maybe eighty percent of the way up."

Over here in Los Angeles, the hyperventilating is going on and on about The Storm of the Century hitting the hapless LA drivers. Oh, and this morning, some moron decided to climb outside of a freeway overpass threaten to jump (thus closing 210 freeway for 4 hours).

There is something so glorious about the advent of Spring Training and everything that it implies - not even George Steinbrenner can tarnish that feeling...
