Opening Day

Ever since ESPN began broadcasting three games on opening day it has become an official holiday for me. I always take it off from work, no matter what. It is truly the one day a year for me and I hold it sacred. I put on my new Yankees cap (must have a new one for each season) and just sit and watch something I have been denied for the past 5-6 months.
This year it will be a little different. I WILL NOT be working or in front of the 46″ wide screen, I will be at Wrigley Field for opening day. The best man from my wedding called yesterday and said he had four tickets. And he asked if I would like to go. The nerve. All I could think of is why are you asking. I thought he knew me. He was my best man.
So Monday I will be well chilled in the old musty stadium at Addison and enjoying the first day of what promises to be an exciting season. Pictures to follow.
