We needed the rain

After yesterday's yard work, today was a lazy day of watching baseball and now hockey. It started raining before noon today and it was a good rain. Not so heavy that it was running off the lawns and straight into the storm drains but heavy enough that it was soaking into the lawns.

I also spent some time doing nerdy stuff, trying to relearn everything I've forgotten about JCL, the standard utilities like IEBGENR, IEFBR14 as well as the compilers/linkers for assembler, cobol and fortran.


The Red Sox are now four days away from the start of the season and I suspect they are ready for the grind to begin. They beat the Twins today by hitting the shit out of the baseball. The first two batters, Hernandez and Cordero, each hit home runs to start the first inning and then they both hit triples during the remaining eight innings.

Opening day at Fenway will start a six game home stand, with three game series against the Orioles followed by three games against the Rays but before that can happen, they need to play two more spring training games against the Braves.

I'm looking forward to the season.


As far as the Bruins, they have been winning lately. They are currently playing the Devils (the game started at 5:45) and are down 1-0.

They are still in fourth place in the east but that has a lot to do with the fact that they ave only played 30 games versus everyone else with 34 or 35 games. I'm not entirely sure when those postponed games will be made up. A look at their April schedule and it sure looks pretty busy to me. Hopefully the six guys out on covid or injury will be back by the second week of April because that schedule is going to wear guys down and they'll need every player ready to go.
