countdown to happiness

In 10 days Jesse and I board a plane that will hopefully fly us to Tampa, FL. When we arrive in Tampa we will hurry to the Hertz counter to pick up our rental car. We will make our way from Tampa to Lakeland to check into the Holiday Inn and hopefully run into Willie Horton. Or Barbaro Garbey. Or maybe Al Kaline. I hear that Lou Whitaker has been hanging around Joker Marchant this year. For 5 days we will enjoy some of the things that Florida has to offer. Things like Tigers baseball, at Joker Marchant and at Legends Field in Tampa. There will be The Holy Land to experience. And pirate dinners to eat. And of course you cannot go to Florida without going to visit the doggies. Only 10 days. Some of you will be lucky enough to receive a gift or two from a gift shop. That's right. Now you can't wait for me to go to Florida!
