Question (ala Dwight Schrute from "The Office"): If you write a blog on the Monday of Spring Break week, will anyone ever read it?

I guess anyone out there in cyberspace reading this will provide the answer. (Technically speaking, our Web tracking numbers will tell me how many of you showed up to read this, so I know who you are...)

But it does make you think, doesn't it? I've got Simon & Garfunkel on the brain, that much is certain.

Sometimes we can feel like Tom Hanks in "Cast Away" - only to an extent, of course. I'm not talking to a volleyball just yet, but it's going to be a strange week around Central Indiana. With half the schools out this week and the other half out either before or after this week, we're looking into the abyss of a spring sports week with very little sport.

Even one of our own, Dave McConnell, has been out of town since last Wednesday night, golfing it up in Arizona. There's tumbleweed rolling through his blog space and dust settling on his computer.

What shall we do?

  • Well, there are a few things going on around town. Our intern, Bob, will break it down for you today on HSSTM.com.
  • Also, you can recap the week that was before everyone became obsessed with suntan lotion and flights out of town.
  • But there's also Major League Baseball's Opening Day. The Boston Red Sox and Oakland A's opened up the season last week in Tokyo, Japan, but the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves really did it statewide last night. The rest get started today and tomorrow. Now, that makes spring feel a little more real for those of us staring out at gray skies and rainclouds, doesn't it?
Let the countdown to the end of Spring Break begin!
