In Winter, Think Spring and Summer

 It’s funny.  Chicago has the snow while Sochi has the warmth.  Talk about a trade to benefit both sides.  Short of that impossibility, all we can do is think of spring things.  Oh, did I mention it snowed six inches yesterday?  Over sixty for the season—eat your heart out, Shaun White.

With spring comes baseball and, by extension, softball.  I played, I watch, I remember: Walt Williams sprinting back from the dugout, Harold Baines waiting for his pitch, Clare hitting two homeruns in a game, both in high school and college.  Here’s my cure for arthritis and SAD, to remember.

What do they do in Green Bay to get away from the cold, think of the Packers?  Cold on cold, I couldn’t take it.
