Padres Spring Training in Style

A couple of friends and I are in the process of trying to set up a package deal that would allow a few folks to attend a weekend of spring training games in AZ this March. General, we are thinking of including the following:

• Air Fare
• Complete Limousine Transportation in Arizona to and from all events (including airport)
  
• Hotel Accommodations
  
• Tickets over the Padres dugout for all games
• Steak Dinners
• A Behind the Scenes Tour of Padres Facilities
• Andrew Magdaleno Autograph Baseball

Please shoot me a line if this might interest you. We don't have much time to get this going.

Off and Running

I started a new running routine this morning. It has been 7 years since the last time I exercised. It was just one mile, but I had to stop twice and I almost threw up. I felt like I was encapsulated in a giant marshmallow running against the wind. However, I did manage to finish the mile and I will definitely be back at it again tomorrow. In fact, I have entered the La Jolla Half Marathon in late April. This will be my 4th Half Marathon, but I will be starting my training in the worst shape of my life.

I have reached the point in my life where I can no longer rely on the physical foundation that I set in place as a kid. I realize that I reached a turning point... either get back at it, or continue to morph into a blob that my wife will not, eventually, recognize as the man she married.

The "Toothpick in the Mouth" Look

I am considering an attempt at adopting the "Toothpick in the Mouth" look this year. More thoughts and photos to come...
