Opening Day!

I love this day -- the first day of Major League Baseball. So much hope -- the Cubs really could win it all, there are 162 games to look forward to (even if I only watch a small fraction of those, checking in daily on the team is a pleasant summer addiction), and baseball is still everything that is right with the world in my book.

Ernie is coming over to celebrate today by joining me to watch his Reds play my Cubs. I worked on Sunday night just to clear time out to watch this on Monday afternoon. The boys of summer are returning.
