Post Season Sickness

Every year when the season concludes, I get sick.  I got a major league cold right now.  I am looking for home remedies.  It doesn’t help that my family took a weekend trip away last weekend, and that I went on the road recruiting the past couple of nights.  It just runs you down.  But I am going to take the weekend off, and get some rest.  My wife is suffering with a cold also.  I was going to see my buddy, Nick Huber today, but thought I better stay out of his house with my cold.  When he gets a cold, he really suffers with his breathing, so you must be careful around him.

Everyone says, “What are you doing with yourself, now that the season is over?”  Well, I am on the road recruiting, and on the phone recruiting every night.  It is fun to find out who is going to join the program with you.  We have a couple of commits that we are really happy about, but NCAA rules won’t allow me to talk about them until they have registered for class, which will happen in June.  So I will wait till then.  If you really want to know, just call me, I will tell you in person.

What is really exciting, is the fact, that the Cubs get started on Monday.  1:20 is the first pitch.  I will be watching.  The first day of baseball season is always special to me.  It just means that spring is here, and that it is about time to pull out the golf clubs.  It is a start of a whole new way of life for me for about 4 months.  My life is so crazy during the season, and also during April, as we are out recruiting.  But starting in May, my life goes into neutral a little, and now I can focus on the family,  golf, and the Cubs.   We still recruit during the summer, but it is only one or two days at a time, and those are usually fun events and I see my coaching friends during those times. 

Taking off for the Final Four in San Antonio on Thursday with Barb.  We are looking forward to the River Walk, the weather, and the Mexican food.  San Antonio is one of my favorite cities. 

Talk next week.
 

Go Beavers!!
