    Spring game done. Count down the days to football. Fulltime fishing with offdays but its such a long drought till we get our fix. Baseball is sorta nice but it just cant fill the void.

    Old fishermen never die
    They just smell that way
    3/4 of the earth is covered by water
    So you should spend 3/4 of your time fishing

    I'm jealous. I have about two years, and work has become just work, not play anymore. It's been a long and decent run, but I'm ready for the lounge chair, exercise, my hobbies, and a margarita now and then.

    I have 36 basketball games on the DVR to re-watch. But I may just watch a few from the season and the final 9 a few dozen times. And the football wins of course.

    The stretch Between basketball and football is the worst for me. I consider all the other sports better than nothing. Football is an entirely different animal.

    I was just thinking that. It’s the first time in decades I was just sort of pumped thinking about football. Still hasn’t changed but I’m sure it will as the season comes around. This weird seemingly secretive injury to Lag’s arm didn’t help. Go Gators! The basketball year was a magical surprise, to me anyway. Didn’t see that coming (until about half way in). What a season though.

    The college baseball postseason and CWS are enjoyable, especially when the Gators are in the thick of it. Never count out Sully; he may just have another Omaha run in him.

    But late June to late August is terrible. MLB seasons are just too lengthy to keep up with. And the World Cup isn’t til next year.
