Little of this, little of that while on break:
I have (tentatively) two tickets to the Indians game Saturday and field box seats free from work. Yippee. Not sure what I’m going to do with them, but it’s going to be a long day downtown if I go to Bounce afterwards.
I also have the biggest blood vessel in my left eye. It looks ready to explode. Been noticing for months now my left eye runs and runs while I review reports and clean them up. The reports, not my eyes. At any rate, after the glaucoma worries, it’s probably a good idea to go get this checked. Oh, and for anyone interested in PSA — do NOT go reading on the Internets what could possibly be wrong with you if you have a blood vessel the size of Route 2 cruising across the white, headed for the retina. Scary stuff. May not even finish posting before some or another disease, for which this is a symptom, does me in.
In other other news, sometimes don’t like Indians home game nights. The Direct TV blimp never has a message for me. Not even a cryptic one. Yet it circles around and around, threatening to bump into my building and recreate the Hindenburg disaster. Also, parking is a pain.
Yet it’s so much fun to see the crowds of families and fans floating down Ninth to Some Company’s Field. ( Why is it when we get used to a field name, they change it?) Few things make me feel so proud of Cleveland as its sports fans. Even the over-zealous variety. They’re never say die kind of people. Which makes them my kind of people. And their arrival is a sure sign of spring really in bloom, along with the tulips, daffodils, flowering ground cover and Fred, the dessicating squirrel near my front door who has been around long enough to receive a moniker.
(I can’t find it in my soul to shovel him up!!! Know it’s wrong but you know, am just not sure which is worse – leaving him there or putting him in a garbage can. So we named him in the interim. )
With the exception of Fred, all around us again are living things. Fabulous.
