back from sabbatical
I’ve been away from here for so long that I will go ahead and call it that. It can’t be a break. Now that I have returned it can’t be a retirement. Plus had it been a retirement, I would have gone away with more fanfare. So…
What’s happened during this “sabbatical”?
I have seen a few very awesome concerts. The top of which is definitely seeing Valery Gergiev conduct the London Symphony Orchestra. Wow, that was completely spectacular. That was a Prokofiev 5th Symphony that sets a high standard for all other performances to look up to.
The Cubs have started playing baseball again. That shows exactly how long I have been gone. Now I have a few thoughts on this. If I were still living in Tucson I would have no problems with baseball season starting in early April. Living in Chicago, I have to say that baseball should not start until June 1. When the baseball season started, I was still wearing my winter coat. What?!!? Now, let’s think about the positives about starting baseball on June 1. There are 160 some odd games that each team plays during the season. So what if you take away 20-30 games, because you still have 130-140 games for the year. Is anyone really going to complain about those games that they don’t watch anyway? Is anyone really going to complain about being able to go to opening day it shorts, and not be an ice statue at the end of the game?
Stay tuned…

p.s. this was quite a welcome back to the world of blogging. i must admit that i’m impressed with the “sabbatical” rationalization – very nice. with the exception of the few-and-far-between grammar mistakes, this blog was worthy of an A-. good job!

It is 103 F here in Abu Dhabi. The Cubs should give up playing baseball and start something like cricket, or dodgeball.
