There are few things I enjoy more than a holiday Monday hanging out with my son. Sometimes I've got to work and then its a childcare nightmare, but today we've just been messing around and playing video games. I did the laundry (but have yet to fold it, I hate folding) and we had a sleepover guest last night who stayed until about a half hour ago whose dad is doing the virtually completely single parent thing and who had to work. This guy and his boy are pretty great and as much as I want to bitch about stuff every so often I have little to complain about. Those who co-parent with an ex in a mutually supportive way know how easy that is by comparison to those who do it alone or largely alone. Our situation is really quite good. Anyway, a great day doing a whole lot of nothing.
I have a mountain of laundry to fold later (booooooo) and a pork roast in the oven (yaaaaaaaaaaay). Boy Wonder is doing just great and I think I am one of the most fortunate of parents on this earth.

The weather in this part of Northern California has been glorious this week. I've had the top down on more than one occaision with temps in the mid 70s. I think of scraping ice off the car in Newburyport this time of year and laugh.
Spring Training has begun, MotoGP is about to, Obama is looking his best and the world is a happy place.

Okay.
The Giants won the Superbowl decisively, ending the hopes for a perfect season by the Patriots.
Less than 2 weeks for pitchers and catchers to report to Winter Haven.

Okay, so I have no intention of updating this with any frequency if at all. No offense, I just don't want to remove myself from the other stuff that goes on in my life in order to post blogs about me. Having said that, I must say that I sometimes enjoy the blogs of others.
It is the eve of Superbowl 42 and though baseball is my sporting first love and football somewhere around fifth or lower I am still really excited to see if my hometown team can pull of the perfect season, if for no other reason than to shut those '72 Dolphin jerks up, please. There are other reasons of course, but that is the most compelling for me. Truthfully I am more excited about pitchers and catchers reporting for Spring Training soon.
In the morning the kids (my boy and 2 sleep-over pals) will wake up and we will try pancakes in a can, organic no less, and the day will be in full swing. Its raining here and has been for days, but no worries as I don't have to scrape it or shovel it. Its just wet. Go Pats and I hope its a good game.
