11:16PM | Leaving February For March
ith most professional sports, preseason means boredom, with the only excitement being that preseason signifies that the beginning of the meaningful season is imminent. Baseball is different. Because of the number of positions on the team, and the vast number of minor leaguers and journeymen trying to win a roster spot with the big club, there are always interesting storylines to spring, and a great chance to see top young prospects who will one day be the future of the team. Spring training began last week for most teams as catchers and pitchers trickled into camp, and now training camps are in full swing, with preseason games set to begin on March 1st. This also means that my favorite time of year is approaching: the fantasy baseball draft.
March looks like it will be a busy month, with the fantasy baseball draft, hopefully a little travelling, a wedding, people coming in from out of town, and work events outside of the office.
The only book that I have read all the way through so far this month has been G.K. Chesterton's The Man Who Was Thursday. Once again, Chesterton did not disappoint. Though the book was a little predictable, especially the end as it fits in with his usual themes, Chesterton still crafted it in beautiful words to make what was predictable unique and spectacular.

10:40PM | Defining Dictionary Site
aving been a long user of Dictionary.com, I have now found TheFreeDictionary.com to be better. Primarily better as in more entertaining. Combining many resources into one with an interface that resembles Wikipedia, TheFreeDictionary.com hits you with a wealth of information. The fun I alluded to comes in the form of hangman and an addictive spelling challenge.

Contented Wi' Little, And Cantie Wi' Mair - Robert Burns
Contented wi' little and cantie wi' mair,
Whene'er I forgather wi' Sorrow and Care,
I gie them a skelp, as they're creepin alang,
Wi' a cog o' guid swats and an auld Scottish sang.
I whyles claw the elbow o' troublesome Thought;
But Man is a soger, and Life is a faught.
My mirth and guid humour are coin in my pouch,
And my Freedom's my lairdship nae monarch daur touch.
A towmond o' trouble, should that be my fa',
A night o' guid fellowship sowthers it a':
When at the blythe end o' our journey at last,
Wha the Deil ever thinks o' the road he has past?
Blind Chance, let her snapper and stoyte on her way,
Be't to me, be't frae me, e'en let the jade gae!
Come Ease or come Travail, come Pleasure or Pain,
My warst word is:- ' Welcome, and welcome again!'
