Beginning to Look Like Spring

The sun is out the grass has riz
I wonder where the robins is
( a paraphrase from the well known ditty )

We're cool but sunny
Expecting warm soon

The News : India is not a desirable place right now for tourists in general and women in particular. Data from travel agents show cancellations  for Indian adventures are running about 30 %. Alternate choices are Thailand, Pacific islands and Australia.

The Johns Hopkins BlueJays lost last night to U of Albany, 10 -9. The BJ s are now 6 - 4. The Hop cannot beat any team that is ranked or rising. Yech. Oh well, a record may fall this year, 41 consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament.
All is not lost but 7- 7 is needed to qualify for selection. however, this year Hop s Strength of Schedule is not as high as other years - basically, Hop is doing poorly. Opportunities do include facing Maryland / Loyola which are both on the upswing and rated highly - but they need to be beaten. Navy and Army provide some minor gains if Hop is successful but very minor.
