Tampa

Things here have been good. Just work. Of course, they are having unusually cold weather. Go figure! That tends to happen in cities that host the Super Bowl. I guess I should count my blessings because I could be in Utah where it is freezing cold and the dreaded inversion is solidly in place.


Here are a few pictures of things I have seen (for those of you on Facebook, these will be repeats):


Our offices are at the spring training facility for the Phillies. It's called BrightHouse Field and in Clearwater, FL. We try to have our offices in a place that has a large parking lot for all the buses and plenty of space (press boxes) for us to work.





You know you are in FL when there is a gator in the little mote by your hotel. You can't tell from this picture but he is kind of small; only about 3-4 feet long. He was just floating there in the water.

This is the GIANT flag that is flying near the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practice facility. The building in the background is the club offices, locker rooms, etc. with two practice fields behind. It is two stories tall and pretty big. I wanted that building in the background so you could see just how big the flag is. That flag is enormous!

This is my friend Jen. One of the reasons I keep coming back every year and enduring the time away from my family (and the stress) is because of the good friends I have made over the years.

I will have more pictures later. All the cool Super Bowl "look" is not completely up around the stadium yet. I want to wait until that is up to give everyone the full effect! Love you all. Thanks for all the support for me and my family.
