To continue yesterday's theme, a mix of emotions occurred on the 49th day of 2016. Reminded of my Babba's 100th anniversary of her birth, which just passed last week, seeing her picture reminded me of all the good times we had at her house. But 2/18/16 was also a red letter day in two manners. Firstly, as you can see from my FB feed, it was the last EVER game for Alexa and her 8th grade compatriots on the Middle School Basketball Team. A hard fought win against a talented opponent. And I am glad they won and I am proud of their season, but I sure will miss the coaches, players, and parents we will leave behind as Alexa starts High School Basketball next year. And we have high hopes for her and her classmates there. AND, as they do each season, about this time, the Phillies reported to Clearwater, well, the pitchers and catchers did, and many other players as well. And, while I have no delusions of contention for them in 2016, I DO also have high hopes for what they are building and hopes that the team will do better than last year and be fun to watch. So, with a nod to Owen Murphy (and he knows why), today's song of the day is High Hopes. Ol' Blue Eyes singing with a bunch of kids - perfect!
