Spring continues to be reluctant. I should be happy that the snow drifts are gone, but I yearn for 70 degrees and the sound of outdoor activities, and the opportunity to wear those new shorts that I bought in Florida in February.

I played indoor tennis at Wooddale this morning. The original foursome has dwindled to two and we play with subs every week. Jerry has a herniated disk and Pat has some other long existing and recurrent back problem. Bob and I remain and we played the new guys to a virtual draw this morning, 6-2, 4-6, 3-4 when we ran out of time. Our permanent court time ends next weekend, so it'll be outside all the time after that. Jerry is getting a cortisone shot in his back, and hopes to return in a couple of weeks.

Unky Herb was doing some P90X exercise this afternoon and I needed content for the blog. He was dressed in a unique way as he beat the pulp out of the air in front of him. It's keeping him fit while he continues his daytime desk jockey job.

The Prairie Princess seems to like her new job in Wisconsin. We iChat-ed this evening for an hour or so. She's five hours away, so she's not likely to visit much this spring, but technology seems to fill the gap. She's been participating in dry vegetation burns and doing some chain sawing. And living in a small town.
