So two weeks after my lasik eye surgery, I’m told I’m better than 20/20 already. Though I was skeptical, I believe that may be the case. My vision definitely has been getting crisper and crisper. Now I have to deal with the reality of making the monthly payments over the next year.

I rarely talk about sports here nowadays, but let me just say it’s a good time of year. I’m not a big football fan, so it’s fine with me that there’s no football right now. Instead, we have NCAA basketball March Madness, with my alma mater UCLA just having crushed its opponent in the first round, 70-29. I’m looking for them to win their first championship since 1995, when I was a sophomore. I still remember seeing the mobs of people walking through the streets towards Westwood after the championship game.

In the meantime, baseball is also nearing its 2008 season, with teams in Spring Training right now. What more can I ask? My team, the Angels, has a chance to have a special season, with a couple of new talented veteran players added during the offseason and a group of youngsters possibly ready to have break-thru seasons.

It’s spring, and although I’ll miss being able to wear layers during LA’s mild winter, it is a good time of year.
