Honeysuckle and Baseball

posted Feb 16, 2009 7:31 AM by Nicki Salcedo
Dear Lewis,

Baseball has started. The NFL draft happened this weekend. Basketball playoffs are in full swoosh. Even the Thrashers ended their season on a high note. Little kids across Atlanta pull on shin-guards in hopes of leading the US to a World Cup Victory 20 years from now. So, all is right in the world.

I’m sure you’ve gotten an earful in heaven about "The Ted." Every dead Atlantan probably has a gripe with the place, but I don’t. I like it, but it is a shame to have Hank Aaron’s 715 location now a parking lot. Southerners do respect the past. Someone, at least, hung a sign. You can tell me what you think of Barry Bonds later.

I thought I would drop you a quick note and let you know that honeysuckle and baseball are in bloom. My cat, Maddux, can thank those 108 stitches (and the fact that my spouse wouldn’t allow Smoltzy) for her name.

Speaking of 108. Do you have "Lost" in heaven? If so, do you know what really is going on? Or does God make you wait for May sweeps like the rest of us?

Go Braves,
Nicki
