Things to do til Baseball starts again...

Baseball Season 2008 is over.
Congratulations (gulp)...
to the Phillies...
Honestly, every single year on this night, I sit in my silent home. No Baseball Tonight to watch. No web gems.
No Vinnie to say good night to me. It's very quiet.
But GOOD NEWS! Spring Training games start in about 120 days!
So I came up with 60 things I would like to do between now and then. I would love your suggestions too--but please make note of the fact that I don't watch TV. And, no, I do NOT want to start following football, basketball or hockey.
So here they are...60 things to do until Baseball Season 2009
  1. Relax
  2. Take a walk (or 120)
  3. Organize my 13,000 photos in iPhoto
  4. Sell the Barbies in my garage
  5. Clean out my closet/cabinets/drawers
  6. Hook up the Nintendo 64 and master Dr. Mario once again!
