Valley of the Sun

It sucks beiung on vacation AND still battling the flu. But, if you have to do it, at last I get to do it in Palm Springs, CA where short sleve shirts are the norm. What's tough is following the Cubs remotely as I tend to rely on radio and TV for the bulk of my news.

On the plus, the first game from Mesa will be braodcast here on ESPN2 on the 3rd.

If I can get the in-laws to watch the boys for a few hours.....
