busy Tuesday

My snow day: I took yesterday afternoon off at the last minute. Last night the basketball banquet started at six at FBC Atlanta in Dunwoody off 285, meaning that’s when the food needed to be there for the pot-luck. W, A, & M got out of class at five in Woodstock, then I had to take a boy home, then get Anna dinner, then drop her off at ballet at Eastside Baptist on Lower Roswell. Avoided 285 traffic and got to FBC at 6:20, before they had kicked off the banquet.

I had forgotten Will’s team went 28-0. The Varsity Boys should be seeded no worse than 5th overall out of 80 teams in the national tourney in a few weeks. The MC used me as his main comic relief. Here’s a link to some of Will’s basketball pictures (only one of Will) http://web.mac.com/patcahillpro/ACCE_Sports/BB_2009.html

This spring training hopefully stories about Hanson and the young 1B and RF will make fans realize why Wren didn’t panic over the off-season. Still, when the Braves lose a game or three, fans will panic and demand immediate results/trades/etc…forgetting it was the FREE agent’s choice to sign with other teams for relatively the same money. Some deals should turn out better, like Griffey vs. Garrett or Andruw, and Lowe vs. Burnette. It wasn’t the case of either Burnette OR the Japanese pitcher (OR the ChiSox pitcher) - they were to fill out the rotation.

Had a chance to stumble across a 2002 Chattanooga Lookouts bobblehead with a remarkable likeness…Corky Miller. Couldn’t pass it up.
