Sandman's Journal

Beautiful weather and a pounding headache.

I was recently persuaded to join a Fantasy Baseball league, and today was draft day. Albert Pujols was my first pick. Then came Jimmy Rollins, Carlos Lee, Carlos Zambrano, Bobby Abreu, Bill Hall, Ben Sheets, John Smoltz, Trevor Hoffman, Jorge Posada, Todd Helton, Michael Barrett, Tadahito Iguchi, Marcus Giles, Mike Cameron, Eric Gagne, Andy Pettite, Randy Johnson, Jim Edmonds, Dan Wheeler, and finally, Chris Duffy.

I'm being interviewed this week by two students from University of Missouri-Columbia. The photographer, Debrin, took literally hundreds of pictures today, mostly of me. It's flattering, but unnerving too, to be a "subject" of an article.

P.S. Click on the photograph and you'll see a magic trick.
