back to the dogs

Three cheers for Uno, the beagle, who won the Westminster Kennel Club dog show the other night to a standing ovation. He's a great-looking dog. And the first beagle ever to win. I was also pleased that the Tibetan mastiff, a new breed to the show, actually placed in the final cut in working breed.

I posted Lillian Morrison's Fan Valentine on the old site and will post it again here in honor of the day.

Yours till the pinch hits
Yours till the inning stretches
Yours till pennant races
Yours till pop flies
Yours till the home runs
Yours till the line drives
Yours till the double plays
Yours till the batters box.

Pitchers and catchers today in Clearwater. Maybe that will go just a little way to cleansing the bad taste left by yesterday's Congressional hearing on steroids in baseball, but I haven't got the time to indulge in a rant on that.
