He Must Surely Weep

A minor miracle: I got a 93 on the stats test from three weeks ago. That's about a whole letter grade better than I expected. Incredible. Here we are at spring break, and I quite likely have an A in that class (can't know for sure, as the teacher is apparently hoarding most of our homework).

Had the fantasy draft tonight. Chris Martich and I went to the office to utilize Belo's high speed connection. He's got a bad cold, the poor guy.

Some thoughts...

Our own draft went fairly well. We've got an ace starter (Jason Schmidt), a premier closer in the making (Brad Lidge), good hitting at all positions, and okay pitching depth (though we'll never be satisfied with that).

Steve, the poor guy, drafted:

Kerry Wood, who left spring training this week to have an MRI on his shoulder

Joe Mauer, who had knee surgery last season and at this very moment has swelling, still, because of it

Lance Berkman, who had knee surgery in November, and likely won't play until May. As Erik said, "It took you 10 minutes to pick a guy with a blown-out knee!"

Henley, in fact, drafted Curt Schilling, who won't be ready for opening day either. Good pitching depth otherwise, but not a whole lot of pop in that lineup.

The Diamond Darlings, run by Rhonda Murray, drafted the premier closer in baseball, Eric Gagne. They neglected, however, to draft a shortstop.

Busy day here otherwise too. THEBOY attended a birthday party at a place called something like Pump It Up. It's like a small warehouse full of bounce houses and other inflatable stuff for kids to play on. He had a BALL. Afterward he gave the birthday boy his gift, which made them both happy.

As we left, THEBOY was approached by Sierra, the one he calls "the girl I'm gonna marry." She was never very far from him today at the party, and there at the exit she put her arms around him.

And he kissed her. BOOM. Right on the mouth.

She turned and left, he grabbed my hand like he'd just done something completely natural, and I chuckled all the way to the van.

He's got the mojo.

By the way, he's FOUR.

Roel and Marie are expecting a baby. He sent a link to an ultrasound photo yesterday entitled "Find the Penis."

Women are God's art, and He must surely weep when they get tattoos.
