Major League Baseball’s Spring Training is starting up this week. I know this because I saw it on the news. The Colorado news. I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that anyone in Colorado might care enough about baseball to consider the start of Spring Training news.
I’ve officially gotten sucked into the presidential race. I think that with only a handful of candidates left, it’s easier to assess where each one stands on the issues that are important to me. Which, as you might guess, aren’t always the same issues that everyone is talking about on the news.
A while ago, I was looking up the word “tautology” because I heard it somewhere and didn’t know what it was, which is generally a good reason for looking things up, I think.
