When I woke up yesterday morning, it was still dark. Before I left my suburban Maryland home, I woke up my wife and kissed her goodbye.

"Tell the kids I love them," I said to her.

"When will you be back?" she asked nervously.

"I'm not sure," I said.

"Write me," she said.

"I'll try, but I'm not sure whether the post office picks up mail where I'm going," I said.

I went outside and got into my car and left, heading for parts unknown -- or, if Virginia Baseball supporters have their way, the future home of the Montreal Expos.

They held a press conference yesterday to unveil Virginia Baseball's latest and perhaps last-gasp hope for convincing baseball to put the Expos in Northern Virginia.

"This is the future," Virginia Baseball chairman Bill Collins said. "This is where the businesses of America are locating."

It may be the future, but for the present, the proposed ballpark site out near Dulles Airport, at the intersection of the Dulles Access Road and Route 28, looks like Wal-Mart country to me.
