Today, I had to go onto campus to take care of some paperwork. It's a beautiful day, warm and clear - perhaps a touch on the humid side, but a far cry from what it'll be in even a month's time. On campus, the air was filled with the scent of the flowering dogwood, and the local Canada geese were leading their goslings about. (A flock of half a dozen crossed in front of the bus; maybe twice that many waited on the curb until we were past.) In the University Center, an Elvis impersonater was performing; I waited through a rendition of "If I Can Dream" (my favorite Elvis song). His voice was a bit deeper than the King's, and was a little too polished, without the emotional roughness of the real thing, but he wasn't bad.

I think I've figured out what to do with the leftover noodles. I've got sandwich fixings, in the form of sliced turkey and Monterey jack; I think I'll cut up a couple of slices of the turkey, toss it with the noodles, and then shred a slice or two of the jack on top. A minute or two in the microwave should produce a tasty dinner - or at least an edible one!

Meanwhile, the Padres seem to have decided to cut their losses on the keystone duo of Hudson and Bartlett, releasing the former and DLing the latter. They've brought up Cabrera to play short, and one of the kids they got from the Angels in the Frieri deal to handle second. Neither of them is likely to make heads turn, but they should be able to hold the fort until the prospects - Gyorko, Spangenberg, Weems, Peterson - are ready.

Solicitors are ringing the phone about every ten minutes, but I can't just ignore it - there might be a call I need to take. Buggrit. It's spring; I won't let them get me down.
