It’s been raining for about 3 hours now, so I guess I don’t have to make that “is it too cold to water the grass” decision today.
Month: April 2002
Remember that whole thing with the 90 degree temps and me actually wearing shorts in April? Well it was snowing earlier this morning. Nothing more than a few flakes, but dang it all, it’s a whole month into spring and I don’t want flakes! None! I wasn’t even sure if I should water the patch where I’m trying to grow grass (from the shrub I finally removed) but heck, if it’s that cold, maybe it’s not good to water it. I’ll check again later.
If you can believe this, I’m STILL in first place in my fantasy baseball league. Last year, I was never in first place, this year, I think I’ve been in first all but 2 days. Wow. I may have a new career ahead of me!
I was trying to figure out what I’m doing different this year, and a lot of it had to do with our draft. Last year I was goofy and I wanted to pick players I liked so I put in for a lot of Red Sox players. Now I love the Sox, but their players aren’t the best in the league as individuals. Sure, they play well together (so far, so good, we’re about a game up over the Yanks) but you don’t want them on your fantasy team. I also didn’t necessarily put all the “best” players at the top of my draft request list. I looked up stats on some of them and picked a bunch of [what I think are] 2nd tier players, and while everyone else was battling it out over Sammy Sosa et al, I got most all of my picks (including Nomar, who surprisingly is one of my weaker players.)
Anyway, I also left them all in. Last year I was trading players if they had one off day. Not this year, at least not yet. But I will say that trying to maintain 1st place isn’t nearly as fun as being in 8th place and trying your hardest to move up a few spots. But I can’t stay in first all season, can I?
This morning I woke to the thought that I was having an epileptic seizure, or that maybe I’d developed Parkinsons and was in the throes of an attack (no seriously, this is what I first thought of, remember, I’d been asleep).
Then I thought “wait, if I’m shaking, the bed would shake but that doesn’t explain the lamp banging into the wall.
Yep, earthquake woke me up.
