49 Days to Sarasota

As I write this there are 49 days until we leave for Sarasota/Siesta Key and Reds spring training. This will be our 3rd consecutive year to Sarasota and we love it Can't wait to leave the cold and snow of western NewYork. Sadly this may be the last or close to the last trip to Florida,unless Sarasota county approves the funding for the Ed Smith Stadium upgrades. Goodyear,AZ may be nice, new, and just as warm & sunny, but it is a drive of 2300 miles rather than the 1250 to Sarasota. Just a brief opening article for my page, more to come on the Reds from my perspective and if you are into hockey I'll be commenting on the Buffalo Sabres and high school hockey where I am an assistant JV coach.
