Play ball!

This evening IU softball hosted Purdue for a doubleheader. It was faculty and staff appreciation night. As a part of that the players were asked to select a person who makes a big impact on their time on campus. So the starting catcher, Bella Norton, nominated The Yankee:

Norton went 3-6 on the night and the Hoosiers split the double-dip. She’s a fine catcher, commands the field as a fiery competitor and she works with a terrific all-conference caliber pitcher. Also, I had her in class last year, which was a good deal of fun. But The Yankee got the autograph tonight.

It has happened before

For three days in a row the air around us has given us hints of spring.

That’s called a winning streak.

Maybe in three or four more weeks we’ll be able to confidently say the condition has stuck.

Here’s my plan

One day, when the world slows down and I don’t have things to do or places to be, I’m going to do a study of leaves.

I’m going to pick a branch and mark it, somehow.

And then I’m going to take a picture of it each day, from buds until leaf drop. I’m going to do a study of a leaf.

That’s my plan.

Percussionist Foster Grant

After work, it was 68 degrees, and I went for a run. It was an easy 10K, and my longest run of the last two weeks. I went slow because it was so warm. And rounding one corner:

Tonight, we did a thing:

I love that movie and never could figure out why everyone in the band didn’t become a big star — except T. B. Player. That one was obvious.

There is going to be some good stuff in that account when we get it off the ground. You can just tell when you’re sitting on, and not following through with, a good idea.

What movies should we watch next for this? And should it only count if you watch the whole movie? Or could you just jump in midway through, say … Shawshank … and start chiming in about the rock hammer?

Hey, it’s spring break. These are the more-weighty-than-usual thoughts I come up with over spring break.

But who’s counting?

This came together better than I thought it would at mumble-mumble thirty this morning.

On the news, they’re doing spring break stories:

Outside, we’re waiting for more snow.

This, for the record, is about two weeks after that nonsense should have stopped.
