Hope on the horizon
At the beginning of last week I was starting to feel pretty optimistic about winter finally coming to a close... the sun was out, it was a balmy -5, the snow was melting... only a matter of time. Then a big snowfall last Wednesday followed by severeal gloomy overcast days and I realised there was still a ways to go. I had been thinking about how soon it'd be until outdoor ulty finally started up again, but with the return of winter weather cam the crushing relisation that summer league is still over two months away. Another month of snow followed by a month of waiting for the fields to dry out and spring back to life. How dreary.
Anyway I was about to post some long whiny rant about how much I miss outdoor and how indoor, while an adequate replacement in the interim, was starting to wear thin. It was going to be quite long-winded, I'm sure my fan(s) would appreciate it... but I'm not going to. Two reasons:
1. Scanning some of the other ulty blogs in the meantime I cam across this gem that pretty much sums up my mindset better than I could myself... the specifics are quite different naturally, but that's pretty much where I'm at.
2. Looks like after some uncertainty, everything's finally fallen into place for a trip down to Kansas for Fools Fest... I can get my outdoor fix in less than a month. Picking up with a fun team outta Duluth, and the tourney's on its 25th anniversary so they've got some big plans... should be a good time all 'round.

checked out the gem you mentioned... a little too 'poetic' 4 me. I like a good cynical sense of humour.. or fun at other peoples expense... it that too much to ask?!
"Too poetic"? Well, I take it by the inexplicable use of the numeral 4 in your post that you are not a fan of fine literature... As for a cynical sense of humour and fun at other people's expense, I can certainly get on that. I may have started already.
