>>>Things are good, other than my sleep patterns. Or lack of them. Without the structure of a regular job to go to it is unpredictable when I sleep. I am working on a novel, which so far sucks. The other thing of note is that I am working on plans to go see the KC Royals play next season. This is part of my ongoing project to go to a game at every MLB park. A guy who used to work for me lives there so I have accommodations. He is quite a character so we had our moments. Let's just say he didn't like authority. One of my dumber moves was firing him over the phone. After we got off the phone I asked myself if I was insane, firing a former Marine sniper.

>I am still amazed at Clayton Kershaw's season. I don't think even Koufax had one that good. And I don't say that as a Dodgers fan, just a baseball fan.

Can't argue with that. Let's see if he can keep it going. Lasting power; that's what it's about. To be honest, and I'm not a Dodger fan, I do hope he can. Baseball really needs those sorts of heroes. Baseball, more than any other sport (imho) is about legends and heroes. Don't ask me why, it just is (as I say, imho). Right now, there seem to be few new ones on the horizon. Good players, yes. Maybe even great players, but legend material? Well....
