With spring break over maybe we can get back to spring like weather. It's been too cold. Passover and Easter have come and gone and there is only Dyngus day left to mark their passage. If you are a Chatterbox regular (and who isn't) then you know that tonight is the ump-twentieth annual End of Lent celebration with "Polkamotion and Bobby Slovak." I've attended many of these Dyngus Events, and will be bowing out this year due to the unseasonably cold weather. Rich and I feel that the best way to hear Polkamotion is outside on the Patio with traffic and street noise in the foreground and Polka through the open Chatterbox door. Alas the weather says stay in instead of stay out. Another reason to hurry home is that I've been building more shelves to house my ample media collection. In fact I was diligently at work on these last evening at 6:50 when Mel called from the Sport Bowl and invited me to sub for Will Andrichik for the second and third games (since I had to be there ready to bowl in 15 minutes I had to forgo the first game). I was reluctant at first since on Friday I did not bowl well at all, and assisted in taking our next to last place team back to the terminating spot for that leagues final week, but I bowled better on Sunday night in the two games and even managed to hit average on the first one. We won all three and might have moved up another position. Such is the advantage of having me as a occasional member as opposed to a regular one. David Andichik bowled like a man possessed (of his bowling faculties) with a 198, and two 188's for a 574 series and is the primary reason we won all, Mel had a couple of very good games, and Rich finished strong with his best effort of the night. I sort of fizzled like a 25¢ sparkler. Then it was home to look for that old boxed set of NYPD Blue, I couldn't find it, buried under all the bling and crap in the media-room/world headquarters, thus the shelving projects.
Well, I'm off to see the wizard. Another day to get used to the new lay-out and to try to find all the accessories that were boxed away when we were disassembling the retail venture for the upgrade. Have a great Dyngus day, now lets get back to a spring like spring please.
