Just settling in after a whirlwind trip to the desert of my past. After blowing off ll practice (they lost without me on Sunday, btw, so it isn't me....although I am the one who picked the team - no fantasy baseball for me this year), we had an uneventful drive to my P's house. I was feeling congested and unfortunately missed my old neighbors' St. Pat's party (Steph went and didn't get home til 2). Had Micky D's with the rest and played some RummyQ. I must have been sick because my Dad won once. Sunday had some Dunkin' Donuts and took the wife and kids to a Cubs/Angels spring training game in Tempe. It was hot, steep and full of bees. The kids got autographs of Larry Rothschild, the pitching coach, and some prospect named Chris Robinson. Three innings and $80 in food later the kids had had enough. The Cubs went on to win. Took Cubby to visit his rock star brother, Bugsy. Dinner at NYPD. Monday: had breakfast at OverEasy, took the kids to school, Chipotle and the hotel. Played taxi service between the kids friends' houses - Perry's, Max, & Katies. Had a nice dinner in a choice hotel - the Westin Kierland, thanks to shopper wife. Drinks, picked up the dogs (thanks Mom & Dad....and how about my Dad, walking the beast after going on an all morning hike - impressive), and back on the road (mmm, Popeye's). Think the desert air cleared my congestion. Need to go back and be more liesurely next time. Now packing for Atlantis.p.s...hope to get back on track with literary tues, geni wed, and novel thurs. soon....
