First Blog of '08

Hey All! Sorry it took me so long to blog, but I'm busy with work and now coaching track that I haven't had the energy or want to blog anything. I was in a long-term sub position at my high school, and that ended yesterday, so it's nice to be done with that position but it stinks too because I'm not working today. I sat and I sat and I sat by my phone all last night and this morning waiting for my phone to ring, and it never happened. I know a couple of the reasons why, none of which are bad or against me, just a testing time in our district so teachers really aren't allowed time off.

March Madness is approaching, in fact it's already catching at Valpo. Last night was the 1st round game of the Horizon League Tournament. We pulled the game out, which I'm happy with, but I wish I could be in Valpo or Indianapolis to see those games. They should be fun. This Friday is a big game against Wright St. We'll see how we hold up against them in a real pressure game. Otherwise, I'm ready for the "dance" to get started. I need something to entertain me, although Spring Training and Track are doing enough entertaining for me.

Cubs season is almost here. Yes, its only spring training, but at least they are playing games now so I can see what prospects there are and how the regulars are holding up. The pitching looks good so far, at least from the rotation members who know they are in it, otherwise the relievers are still a sight to see. Hopefully, the roles are becoming more apparent for the bullpen guys. That was the biggest downfall for the Cubs last year, although so was the offense against the Diamondbacks in the Divisional Series.

Well, I'm off to get more coffee and see where my day goes from here. Catch all of you soon!
