I endured a major disappointment last night. Steely Dan (yes, they're still alive), one of my all-time favorite bands, played at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino last night, just across the Florida Turnpike (and a few miles north) from Dolphin Stadium. Would have loved to have seen them, but baseball got in the way. Baseball gets in a the way of a lot of things in my life, which is probably why I'm still single and unattached (ladies?), but this is the profession I have chosen, and this is the profession I love. ... There is still a slight smoky haze all over the place around here, probably similar to what is being emitted from the Griffith Park fire. Apparently, there are dozens of fires all around Florida right now because of the drought they are having. The one in Naples, which is straight across the state from here on the Gulf Coast, is the biggest, and the smoke is getting caught up in the wind and carried over here. Gonzo had the best line last night, saying it was like playing in a barbecue. ... I'm heading downstairs. I'll check back soon.
