This would be a good week for me to be living almost anywhere I used to live. Here’s the Mariners’ schedule starting later this week: Fri, 2 April: vs. Colorado @ Albuquerque Sat, 3 April: vs. Colorado @ Albuquerque Sun,…

Winning and Losing
Things are a lot better than they were Friday and even better than they were before. And while I can attribute a lot of that to the passage of time or mental adjustments or even a variety of positive events…
The Week That Was (or: How are We in Middle March?)
It’s been a bit of a weird week. It seems a lot of people are discombobulated. In flux. It’s hard to say how much of that revolves around the fact that my life is thoroughly immersed in people who rely…
