On the Horizon
After reeling from the loss of Victor Martinez in yet another bonehead trade compliments of Dolan and Shapiro, I settled down to reassess the season. Now... I don't think things look half bad. Gimenez, Crowe, and Masterson proved themselves worthy players in the sound spanking of the Central Division leading Detroit Tigers. I was admittedly impressed.
And just this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my beautiful, wonderful wife emailed the confirmation of our ticket order for a September game. Our seats are going to be amazing, just to the left of the Indians dugout. This is awesome! The tribe will be taking on the Kansas City Royals and we will be very close to the field. I have never gotten to see a live event, music or sports, from this close. My wife said this is an early birthday present. I love her so much.
Now I am preparing for the next two weeks, trying to get things together for both my classes here, and my class at Akron, in which I will be a student for the first time in eight years. This is going to be so exciting and fun. I don't fear the work load. I am just very enthusiastic about getting started. Everything is three weeks away. I still feel like I have so much to do. Must get busy...
