Spring has deserted us. It rained all today. It was so cold at IBM, I stayed bundled in my emergency office coat all day. Didion is back in footie pajamas, and Leslie and I are huddled under a blanket. More of the same is forecast for the rest of the week, just when we were getting into enjoying the warm and sun.

Enough about the weather. Here’s something to contemplate on this cold spring night … Leslie mentioned the other day that baseball is a very lonely sport — you are by yourself on the field and have no teammates around when on base. I countered that it is probably the sport in which you must rely on your teammates the most: Once you are on first base, you need someone else to drive you home, so you aren’t really alone. Maybe there is no conflict in our points of view. Thoughts?
