Good vibes

March 1, Buford/Pisgah, North Bottomlands Loop

Wow, I watched three spring training baseball games yesterday. Giants-Angels, Dodgers-White Sox, Phillies-Orioles. Still absorbing new player names. Dodger catchers have been using the ABS (ball-strike challenge system) to great effect. In the two Dodger games I’ve seen, they haven’t missed once. Even though I’m duty bound—as a lifelong Giants fan—to root against L.A., I’m finding I really like a lot of their players. There’s a lot to like about S.F., too. I think Mike Yastrzemski is my favorite so far. But as I said, I’m still learning the players. The Phillies game was a hoot, just for John Kruk’s hilarious commentary. I’d forgotten about that guy. He was fun to watch in the 1993 playoffs.

We did not do any hiking yesterday. But today we are indeed planning to get out and stretch our legs. Birds are returning, bugs are hatching, and flora is stirring as the countdown to spring equinox heats up. Lots of outdoor excitement to be had.

I Stand With Good Vibes! Peace, love, and randomness, y’all.
