"Something changed!"

I missed the DFW metroplex.
I grew up in Allen, went to school at Abilene Christian, then Lubbock Christian, and returned to the metroplex.
I'm tired of the DFW metroplex.
Suddenly, I am not content with my great camera phone, I want one with PDA capability. The intriguing invitation to join a country club at the pastoral monthly rate is awfully appealing to me. It's not safe to drive a motorcycle here, so I will just get a convertible. Nose-bleed at Ranger's games were exciting for about an inning. Yet I had missed baseball, living in Abilene and Lubbock. I mean real baseball. The pros.
Now I am back and am not content with the Texas Rangers. Sure they are cruising downhill at speeds that Picabo Street would envy, but have I lost my passion for baseball?!?
No way. I have loved the sport too long to let it all go on a talented team suffering a lacking front office. So here I am again, looking for something better. The St. Louis Cardinals just happen to be my second-favorite team, and oddly-enough, they are in first place.
Steroids has done nothing to hurt how I feel about baseball. I hold true that steroids can't give anybody a swing as pretty as Griffey Jr.'s or a change-up like Santana. Talent will shine through, always.
Except here in Texas.
I am still looking for something better. I can guarantee you I would not be looking for PDAs, country clubs or convertibles in Lubbock, but this is DFW.
I wonder how I would look in "Cardinal Red"... (we'll find out Sept. 6!)
