Making It Up As I Go Along #698

Not much worth talking about from the last few weeks.  I did take some time off in February.  Just down time… no trip or planned out schedule.  Those are the most relaxing times.  Sleep in, stay up late, work on an expert Lego set (a Mini Cooper car), movies and some shopping.  And it occurred during the Olympics, so I could watch some of that too.  In all, a nice time off.

I am missing the Florida trip though.  This winter hasn’t been horrible.  But even still, when I see a Spring training game on TV… and see the fans out in the sun in shorts and t-shirts… and the green of the fields with palm trees swaying in the breeze… it does call to me for certain.

Regardless, at least baseball is back.  Regular season games only being a few weeks away now.  You can taste summer getting near.

Seated Under the Clock
Ticks tocking the time today.
Achingly ambling an aging afternoon.
Seconds slowly slink seductively.
Measuring minutes meticulously.
Hour hand hints haziness.
Nudging knowingly nightward.
Darkness descends delicately.
While we wonderingly wait.
