Wooo! Truck day!!

My February is warmer and has more sunshine already!

I swear, when it snowed this morning it felt downright tropical. It was 2°C (35°F) which is a warm snow for us! Feels like spring is right around the corner.

Cold, but sunny today. We had a bunch of snow last week, so I am not feeling too springy. ... I have a feeling that in a month or so, we are really gonna be ready for the season to start.

One more date:
0415 - DFW's The Pale King!

Hey, Allan. Are you getting MLB.TV this year? I'm really considering getting it so my kids and I can watch Sox games. is it worth it?

Jere said...

tim--that same site was showing Remy & Lobell's unexciting truck day coverage live at noon, and it was buggy--I got that "nodes" message while trying to watch that. Since you tried shortly after noon, maybe that's why. I assume it's better now.

PICS!

For me, it is essential. I work Fri-Sat-Sun and those are *never* off days, so I need it to watch/listen to 3 of the 6 or 7 games each week. (Plus with MLBTV Premium, I can choose NESN for all non-Jays games.)

I could get the audio like L does, but (a) I don't like the radio guys and (b) if I am busy and something good happens, I can check out the replay.

I know I'm hanging on false hopes, but I'm hoping MLB.tv navigates the blackout restrictions for us New Englanders.

I dropped my cable to basic (bottom 20 channels) for $12/mo. The next step up is almost $50 more a month! I don't want to spend $50/mo for the couple of nights a week I'm not already busy.

Will I break down and do it? (probably)
