Through the first three games of High Class A ball, Alex leads the team in wins, ERA and WHIP. The last game was a gem.

Paris was our first overseas destination and Norte Dame was our first stop on the trip. I was blown away then and really sad now. In other news, Marquette basketball is going up in flames.

Loved Austin.

#87. Celebrate Hemingway’s 8th

Hemingway’s birthday is less than a month away, but more importantly,​ it is his one year anniversary of being told by his oncologist he only had up to nine months to live.

#20: Read 8 Fiction Novels

Despite an anticlimactic ending, I enjoyed it well enough.

New apartment warming party for George.

A late, but welcome start to the pool season.

Brit hit 202.

#48. See 10 New Movies in the Theater

Not a fan of horror movies, but this one has so much hype around it. Really bad.

No better time of year.

#13. Try five more of Gold’s final top 100 LA Restaurants

Cassia in Santa Monica. Finally tried the fifth and final restaurant of the late critic, Jonathon Gold’s last top 100.

Huge moment for Alex as the Cardinals called him up to the big leagues for the final game of spring training. Minor league assignments are still a week or two away, but he’s hoping to start off strong.

Beautiful day for a hike.

The rooftop restaurant of our club finally opened last night. Thankfully, the food was great.

#89: Complete 5 Master Classes

The author of the Handmaiden Tale taught a great class. Two statements I took to heart. 1. Most writers are published later in life (yay). 2. Most published writers won’t make a living with their writing. I already knew that, so we’re good.

#82 Big East Tourney

Happy I didn’t go. Might have ruined NYC for me.

Didn’t really like this one.

Sun Valley is now competing for our top five. Gustavus, Florence, New Orleans, Key West and Kauai.

#8: Off Roading

A long sleigh ride  through the country to dinner.

#63: Visit 3 Museums

I can unsterstand why Hemingway made this place home.

#41: Stargaze

The iphone can’t take pictures of the night sky, but tonight was one of the most brilliant star studded nights that I have been privileged to observe.

#25: Visit a Hemingway Haunt

This goal has been on the list, and accomplished, since the beginning, but this is the final haunt. RIP.

#15: Go Skiing

25 years in the making. It was like riding a bike. A perfect day on a perfect mountain.

#11: Go to the Mountains.

Sun Valley is a paradise.

Wake up view.

The whole LA fam came out to wish Alex our best before he ships out to spring training.
