My Favorite Time

Exactly TR. The only down side is I'll bet you're not outside with short sleeves "catchin some rays" today.

Not with a windchill of close to minus 20

I thought we sent some of that your way

I guess that is what friends are for== LOL

Brrrr! It's not quite that cold here today, temp in the teens with a windchill near zero. Meanwhile, hubby says from Florida where he is watching son's college team and the Twins: "So, ya still got that cold and snow up there, honey?" I told him no, it all melted and it's 75 degrees here.

LOL

Nothing like practicing indoors because there is a foot of snow and ice on the field.

I love this time of year. Very exciting time.

BTW, here it's 65.

Tasmit

BTW it is 15 here !!!!

It's even better down here in Florida, where Spring Training/Ball Players are everywhere, all the college boys are down here playing and I just met a team from Robert Morris, that plays college "club ball", that's staying at the hotel I where I work. Met Little Richard the other day- he's performing at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City. That was an unexpected bonus!

Oh yea, great basketball at the ACC tournament, here in Tampa, has blessed us this Spring also!!!!

TR - couldn't agree with you more!!!

Had the pleasure of spending this past weekeknd in Binghamton NY at the America East Ladies Tournament---sat with the players parents, the faculty and the school president---great time cheering even though we lost by 2 in the final--they will be in the WNIT this weekend so they will still play more hoops


The excitement was out of this world---beats the pro scene anytime---we even had a group of us go to Sunday Brunch and then there was a tailgate party before the game

Great facilty at University of Binghamton---

bottom line--give me college athletics over the pros any time

They did not make the NCAA but they open at home in the WNIT vs Bucknell on Thursday night---the game goes on

Lest we forget...it's also TAX time!!!

And what does tax time have to do with March madenss and the start of baseball season ?

My apologies, TR...it had to do w/ this being a "favorite time of year." It's generally been mine, too, but this morning's visit w/ my accountant left me reeling over this year's tax obligation.

Sort of a sick joke, I guess, but I'm ordinarily a "glass 1/2 full" sort of guy...really!

No apologies needed---perhaps you need a tax shelter

Well let's see, it falls around the same time of year......ALWAYS, and if you're a CPA, it could be your favorite time of year.

Well lets see--- we are all not CPAs--I thought we were all sports fans here-- isnt that what I was talking about or am I losing it?

I'm leaning towards the latter
