So every 5 days, I'm a Padres fan

My beloved, future Hall of Famer and four-time Cy Young award winner Greg Maddux, has signed with the Padres.

To tell you the truth, I didn't really care where he ended up. I just wasn't ready to face a Maddux-free baseball season. I suppose that since he is 40 and it is only a one-year contract, I must begin preparing myself for the inevitable.

But not today. Today he has a team, I have digital cable, and we have another summer to enjoy together.

Whoever would have thought we would agree?

I've got one of those "quote of the day" calendars. Today's words of wisdom are from Farrah. How fitting that they show up this morning.

"The reason that the all-American boy prefers beauty to brains is that he can see better than he can think."
