You'll have to excuse my 'negligence' of this blog for some time. I haven't been getting opportunities in the last couple of days and that has somehow decreased my interest in writing. I can't believe all this paid posting has the capacity to give me the drive to write! It used to be just all about feeling creative. But now, things have changed. And that's not exactly a good thing in my book. :(

When I was a child, I used to watch major league baseball with my dad on TV. He has always been a sports spectator (though never a player) and that has somehow been instilled in me up to this day.

Unlike J, I notice that I also share that love for watching sports with my dad even if I have my own family now. And if I did get the chance to get him a couple of Boston Red Sox Spring Training tickets, I am sure he will be over the moon when he finds out. That is if I do get the chance. Gosh, that would really make some great Christmas present for someone like him who's really into sports like baseball.
