The messiest game a person can play with soap…..

You would think this lady would be old enough to know that you shouldnt be using a modified cigarrette lighter to fuel a hot-air balloon made out of paper.

Turns out she wasnt.

If you can guess how many plastic bags are in this picture, you will win a free Grand Slam breakfast at Denny’s.

I count myself fairly lucky.

This year, I’ve had the pleasure of being on the road for nearly the entire NCAA basketball tournament, same for the Super Bowl (I did that on purpose), and same for last years World Series.

Around my office, if it’s not baseball, basketball or football, it’s golf or just general ‘did you hear what they said on {random sports talk show}.

It’s brutal.

So now, baseball season is here.  It will be over in 20 months from now after the teams play 2,300 games each.  The nice thing about baseball season is that after the first few weeks, the Royals are so far behind in ‘the standings’ (as they call it), most of the talk stops.

Here’s one for Sports Season!!

I could tell when you’re mad at your past
because you tend to take them turns just a little too fast
I could tell how you pushed your foot on the gas
that you already knew that you were gonna finish last
slow it down and take a little time
to look up at them clouds with that fake silver lining
up in a tree knowin damn well you’ll never reach the top
but you don’t stop.. you keep climbing
well O-K it’s settled
no more nights in this weed and thorn infested meadow
from this day forth, only forward I pedal
get the memo I’m cutting the strings Geppetto
shuffle the cards and let’s argue
rooted in between the computer games and cartoons
stop it, watch us all get lost
between God and a shot of scotch
