Time... To Blog...

Hey ho there, people! Sheesh, my new life has cut considerably into my ability to document it (which is probably a good thing, as that means that I am actually out there living that new life...). Greetings from north central Kentuckiana - that's what they call the border region between Kentucky and Indiana (at least on this side of the border - I imagine up north they must call it something like "Inducky"). The new life is proceeding surprisingly well - in fact, it has moved well beyond any and all expectations (it is surprising that not quite yet a year has passed). The job has morphed into a new position - got a bit of a promotion a few months ago - just after the new year (yes, it has been a while since I updated this thing...). The Reserve-thing is starting to come together (been going to school one weekend a month since January), and I might just get all trained up by September. I wish I could tell you what I will be doing, but even I'm not entirely sure (which, if you had any experience dealing with the Government, you would know is Situation Normal). Oh, and it is really starting to feel like Spring out there (and it has to be Spring, because the Red Sox are being televised playing in Florida). As you probably know, the Sox shelled out the equivalent of Belgium's GNP for Daisuke Matsuzaka - the pitching phenom, formally of the Seibu Lions (of course I don't wish to appear to be suffering from Original Disciple Syndrome, but I remember when he first started playing for Japanese Professional Baseball way back in the day...). I have to admit, I had some initial trepidation about signing the Daisuke-man (couldn't we just buy the entire Hiroshima Carp Baseball Club - 広島東洋カープ - for that price?), but it is begining to look like Theo knows what he is doing (like usual). I will be returning to MA this summer to attend my good friend's wedding, and I will be sure to bring back VoVo's 2005 Red Sox Championship banner (would you believe that there is a very sizeable contingent of Red Sox Nation down here?). I will try to keep up on the blogging (make it more current, instead of the quarterly report it has become).
