Born Again

I hate hooded sweatshirts.

Well, I should amend that and say I hate 98% of hooded sweatshirts until I fix 'em. (There are the rare 2% that I have no problem with as they come.) I cannot stand the constriction on my neck from them! I feel like if I flex my neck muscles then it's like "hello, where's the weight room?" It drives me nuts. Then as if the inability to move my head with out interference isn't bad enough, trying to get one off with my gourd can be a painful experience. I feel like I'm reliving my birth! Once the head's out it's easy going.

So I fix 'em. First I take the string out, then I slit the neck. Gives me a little breathin' room. And it also makes me look like one high class woman.

So note to anyone who ever thinks a hooded sweatshirt will make a good gift, don't be offended if I tear it apart slightly. Or make sure it's got a gigantic head hole.

I was copying down the Brewers schedule onto my Brewers calendar in my Brewers themed room (ok the last is a lie my room isn't themed....that much) And I noticed something sort of odd. They play a team a lot in a short time span. Three games per team is the norm, everyone knows that. And in the division you face the other teams four-five times a year. They just seem to play two teams twice within a three week span a lot. More then I remember from last year.

For example, the play San Diego July 31st- Aug 2. Then against LA, then the Astros, then again the Pads then again the Astros with the last game 8/16. 12 of 15 games they play against the same two opponents. I just find it odd. Then a little later they go Cards, Giants, Cards. Then a little while later Cubs, Astros, Cubs.

I just don't recall such repeats last season.

Oh and 40 days until Opening Day. 22 days (!!!) until Phoenix.

Yeah. That's right.
