Well, the Spring Training 2008 trip is underway.  I left the office about 6:30 this evening and arrived here safely at my parents’ house about 5 hours, 291 miles, and 3 bottles of Diet Mt. Dew later.

We leave at 7:00 for Sarasota (566 miles) where we’ll see the Phillies and the Reds play.  I like seeing Griffey play, so maybe he’ll be in the lineup.  With the way frequency that guy’s injured, it’s like a 20% chance that he’ll be playing, but maybe we’ll get lucky.

After the game, we drive to Clearwater (58 miles) where we’ll find the hotel and get some sleep before Fridays games.  Friday will include Clearwater and Winter Haven.  Those 2-game days are exhausting, but well worth it.

So currently the Spring Training odometer is at 291 miles.  I’m going to get some sleep now so I can be rested for a long day tomorrow.  More from the road tomorrow…
