The Blog needs a new name and I would like your creativity to help come up with the new name.
Why, you ask?
Well, Claire and I are moving to Kansas City, Missouri. I will be out there starting April 5 and Claire will be joining me a few weeks later.
Yes...I left San Diego to go track down Claire and take her back to San Diego...I just did not know that we would have a stop over in Missouri.
So, I would like to hold a contest to rename the blog. I have already ruled out Bogart in KC.
Claire and I will evaluate any and all entries and pick our favorite. Out favorite will be named the winner and we will use your suggestion to rename the blog. We will also send you out a little gift.
So, let me hear your thoughts...what should we rename the blog?
WHAT SAY YOU?

Pig Heaven
Wow...it has been a couple of weeks. That is not right. Sorry for the delay.
-----
I have been traveling back and forth from P-Towne to KC every Monday through Friday...I don't bring my personal computer. I work long hours. I cry a lot.
Grandma always said excuses were like armpits...guess mine are stinky.
-----
We do have a big announcement coming soon...as in Wednesday AM and a little contest to go with it. Check back then and give it your best shot(s).
-----
Claire and I went to Pork and Pinot at Vintage Tavern yesterday...holy cow. It was like food heaven...every piece of the pigs was ingested...we ate something called Bacon Explosion, are you kidding me?
We also had 7 or 8 different Pinot's to drink.
Claire and I had a big, fat food baby when we got home. I oinked as I fell asleep. it was glorious!

Liv'n on the Road
So the trip was awesome! It really was...but that was no surprise. After all these years, it has not lost an ounce of its luster...if anything, Spring Training has become even better.
-----
The new job has been great. No, I am not enjoying ironing every day, but the human interaction in the office is a nice change. After 4+ years of working from home, I am in the land of normal people almost every day.
-----
The thing that has been tough...no, not just the shaving every morning...but that the office is in KC and I am living in Virginia. The commute (fly out on Monday and home on Friday) is one thing, but eating out every meal is getting tiresome.
I miss cooking.
-----
Have you seen Modern Family yet? If not, you should. Thanks William for turning me on...and for introducing me to that show.

Only 24-Hours Left!!!
24-hours until I head over to the airport...
24-hours until I climb on a plane to go to Arizona...
24-hours to the annual Spring Training trip...
WOOOOOHOOOO!!!
-----
We have a newbie joining us this year.
It started with just three of us...Teddy, Esteban and me...we did that for a few years...and it was glorious. Probably the weekend the three of us look forward to more than just about any other.
The other guys that we hang with started to get jealous...they wanted a piece of the action. Demand built for others to join us, but we kept it pure. We kept it Old School.
But we finally broke and allowed a crasher...J joined us a few years back...bringing the trip to 4 guys. It was pretty sweet.
So this year, we are bringing along my Bro as our fourth. Should be good times!

Did I mention that I am going to be leaving in just 24-hours?

Mohawk Theory
When you are a young kid...we will call it under 7 years old...a Mohawk is kinda cool. You usually bring a smile to someone's face, as they contemplate how cute you look.
When you are young...we will call it age 12-40...a Mohawk makes you look like a punk. Unless you are on-stage with a guitar in your hands, it should be illegal. Most people look at you and want to punch you in the face...or at least call the cops because you just stole that pair of pants.
When you are middle age...we will call it 40-60...a Mohawk makes you look like you are trying too hard. You usually bring a smile to someone's face, as they contemplate how silly you look.
When you are old...we will call it north of 75 years old...a Mohawk is kinda cool all over again. You usually bring a smile to someone's face, as they contemplate how cute you look.
Does that sound about right?

Work Getting in the Way
Boy, this whole working in an office thing makes it hard to do much outside of work.
Picking up the dry cleaning is a newly difficult thing. What do you mean you close at 6pm, M-F? I often don't even leave the office until after 630. Now what am I going to wear tomorrow?
Going to Costco is losing some of its luster...no, not because Costco went downhill (it hasn't), but because I can only go on Saturday or Sunday. It is so frigg'n crowded. Who are these people and why are they in MY COSTCO. Don't they understand their presence is making the Happiest Place on Earth a little less happy?
Don't get me started on going to the Post Office.
At least Netflix remains a constant.
-----
I was noticing that I think about blogging less often now...not that my desire to write is any lower, it is just that I don't notice as many things as I used to. I also don't have as much reflection time. I think that makes it much more difficult to maintain a good blog.

Baseball is back!!! All is right with the world!
