Back in the saddle in Scottsdale
It only took one whiff of that fragrant Arizona air -- it smells really different here -- for the travel stress to evaporate. Life is good. This is my 12th annual Spring Training trip, and I must be more giddy than I thought I'd be, since my eyes popped open this morning at 7 a.m., after only six short hours of sleep.

Scottsdale's Deseo defines "Nuevo Latino" cuisine
In Milwaukee, you'd be hard-pressed to find a restaurant at a golf resort so good that you'd actually travel all the way across town just for dinner. But if you ever find yourself in Phoenix, make the trip to Deseo, a "Nuevo Latino" restaurant inside the Westin Kierland.

After the game, we moved our base of operations to the Westin Kierland Resort, on the northern side of Scottsdale. A top-notch hotel, it’s quite different from our experience at the Hotel Valley Ho.
