Baseball has arrived and today, TODAY, is the first game for the Braves. They play at 4pm on TBS, so I only get to watch 30 minutes of it live before I have to leave to go work in the photolab, but that's ok . . . God let VCRs be invented for a reason! Oooo . . . and guess what! John Smoltz is a starter this year *yay!* although, I think he's awesome as a closer as well, so we'll just have to wait and see if his arm is healed for him to be a starter again. And, I'm glad Brain Jordan is back as well.

So, for some of you non-baseball people, I know this post is not your, um, "cup of tea," for for those willing to learn more, here are some links for you:
