First business- temperature check. How cold are ya? 27 here.
February. Super Bowl next Sunday. Then pitchers and catchers between 10-13 February. Then Daytona 500.
That puts us to ST games. 17 February.
Seems like a bit since final out of WS. And a long cold winter.
In the winter time. When the leaves are brown. And the wind blows.
February!
Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out
On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter.
My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow
Thinkin' about what I've been missin' in the city.
And I'm not missin' a thing
Watchin' the full moon crossing the range Ridin' the storm out
Ridin' the storm out.
13 degrees here. I hate winter. Fortunately, the days waiting for baseball are growing shorter. I need me some baseball right now! Per the comment on the Super Bowl, I won't be watching. Blues? WTF??? They find ways to lose and lose both early and late in games. I no longer follow college hoops. Kentucky??? I do follow HS sports, so there is that.
Heres a neat idea. If you follow HS sports, Sikeston is like 18-2, number two, I believe class 5. Give ya something to root about.
The HS where I retired from is 18-5. The girls are 15-9. I coached in both programs at some point in my teaching career. They won't get to state, but they are fun to watch.
Cool. Commend you for your teaching efforts. You can rest assured you made many differences.
Yea Sikeston has to get thru district, then they usually lose in semis at state. Not bad losses. Few points.
Schedule is suspect….
Ha haha You don’t know. They have three tough road games next ten days- Dexter, Scott City, Jackson. Plus Cape at home. Will have to play well.
Dogs are class 5
There are several class 2 or 3 on the schedule…….just saying the record is better than the team..
Not their fault…not many class 5 in the heel…, and they have to play someone
Ooooh ok. That is true. Very few class five. Correct. That’s why they play the STL tournaments. Just won the Union tourney, beating ST Francis Borgia.
At least they have a chance in hoops…
One year in football……rolled up a great record….again not all class 5 competition
Anyway, they had a home game in the first….and an Stl team came to town and just blew the dogs out.

2 more months in Mesa AZ before returning to IN. 74 F was the lowest high this week. 3 days in the 80's coming week.
Feeling for you guys up north.
Mesa is Cubs ST camp. In the 5 years I've wintered here, the ony time I spent watching the Cubbies was when the Redbirds visited late March '24 on the way to LA opening. Cards won both games. I brought my Cubbie fan daughter and son in law (living in Phoenix) to the game and took just a little verbal pleasure in the beatdowns.
Looking forward to progress in '26, both in St Louis and the various minor league camps. I think our farms should fare well this year.
Nice write. Do you do this schedule every year.
Yes we bought a condo in 2021 and have 5 winters in Mesa. It almost feels like cheating.
"A tradition unlike any other", "4 please", and "Hello Friends" starts April 9th. Final Four, Opening Day, and the Master's always signal another Spring has arrived for me. February is just one step closer to True Bliss.
Mid 80s here in Thailand. Bit muggy and maybe some rain I hope. Love the rain storms here.
problem is you stuck ANOTHER earworm on me with the finally February. For some weird reason it sent my brain into hearing "suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors.

Ha sorry brother. Thailand? Do you live there or work there. As for the ear worms, just imagine plagued with them reverence music.
I see a quote and hear a song.
Yesterday it was- trailor for sale or rent; rooms to let fifty cents.
25 yesterday morning St Johns County Florida, that was awful. It did end up getting into the mid 40s, and currently its 25, but should hit the low 50s. Hopefully this cold front gets the heck out of here.
I shouldn't complain too much, I did get 12 holes in on Friday, it was ~65 when we tee'd off at 4 pm.

Imagine had this front come this weekend. Would set the schedule back several days i ST.
You’re in Florida. Great opportunity to see how far the cold went reverence baseball.

Not good. Ha.
Now I got Live Bullet on my mind. But it’s easier; and faster when you fall; you just don’t need it all. Something like that.

No phone, no pool, no pets,
I ain’t got no cigarettes.
I smoke old stogies I have found,
Short, but not too big-around.
I’m a man of means by no means,
