Sunday

Had great expectations to be here yesterday, but ran into some bad shrimp while watching the games last night.

Lightening, thunder and rain on Easter evening here.  The grass will likely need mowing by the end of the week.  Not-so-suite.

Again got outside on the bike for both weekend days.  20 on Saturday and 26 today.  Still on the bike paths.  Windy today and on the simple out-and-back route, we cruised going, and got killed fighting it coming home.  But we also beat the rain and treated ourselves with a late lunch of a classic tenderloin at the 11th Street Precinct. Suite.

2 has relocated to the TC this week to attend to 1.01 while 1 heads back to work.  That means that The Winniferous is camping with SRH and LtPC for the next few days.  Unfortunately, the rain today kept us from getting her the right amount of exercise.  And the dog park may not be a great option as I don't do doggy baths.

Watching UConn - Baylor in the women's Final Four.  Looks like a full house at The Alamodome.  Which is good to see.  I'm thinking that they need to do a DNA test on Baylor's 6'8" Brittney Griner.  This is the gal who punched out another player last month and got a puny two-game suspension.  She certainly has the deep voice of a male.

I got a call from the PV High School AD over the weekend looking for help at a track meet on Tuesday aftrernoon/evening.  I'm thinking that my pal Ron volunteered my name.  Anyway, I'm going to be Clerk of the Course for the meet.  That's the guy to whom runners report to get staged for the next race and to get their lane assignments.  It's a good job because you're always busy.  (It's a good job as long as it isn't cold and doesn't rain.)

Opening Day (Night?) for Major League Baseball tonight with the Yankees playing the Sox in Boston.  (I remember a couple of Opening Days at Wrigley in the late '70's.  We had a client who had the Old Style beer distributorship that supplied Wrigley, and we just had to be there for a few games to supervise the beer stands.)   I'm thinking that maybe ESPN may have had some say on which teams opened the season.  Too bad 3 is sipping Margaritas on the patio in Colorado.  Or not.

The same USA Today Life section that had the picture of the local ballpark also had a brief story and picture of the church in Turin, Italy where The Shroud resides.  I noted the copy as 2 and I were at the church in September (when The Shroud was not on display).  The cathedral is pretty ordinary in appearance.  As was much of Turin.  Kind of cool to have walk the piazza where The Shroud is located.

My pal Roy leaves in the AM to spend the week at Augusta for The Masters.  He's been there multiple times in the past, but it's unusual that he will be there for the week.  Don't think he's going there to see Tiger.

Speaking of Tiger, his news conference tomorrow will likely steal some thunder from other stories of the day, most notably the NCAA championship game.  And the Opening Days at other major league parks.  I'm guessing that Tiger didn't plan it that way, but he does have a tendency to shine the light on himself.  Humble he is not.

Butler can win, and getting 7 or 7.5 points, I'd be tempted to take the underdog.  But I think that Duke will win. (It looks like 3 could win her pool if Duke wins. Cool beans.)

Have a great week.
