'tis the season (title credit: Sara)
Happy Opening Day 2011!
I know it's only the beginning of April and I shouldn't say it, but I will...I am burnt out. We are in the home stretch of school (10 more weeks) and this is when AEP becomes a party—for the kids! One thing that helps get me through the rest of the school year is baseball season. This year, we bought a 20-game package and thinking "only __ more days until the next game" makes the 10 weeks at school go by faster.
This opening day, my principal granted me permission to go before I even asked. It was agreed that I would be allowed to take a 1/2 a day and leave at 10:30 (awesome) on opening day which fell on a Friday this year (most awesome).
I got a chance to meet CJ at spring training this year. There was a short list of questions that I had always wondered and was going to ask if I ever met him, and when the time came...I was kind of a blubbering idiot. All I could wonder was what it must be like to be so good-looking.
Anyway...
We played the Red Sox and CJ pitched a beautiful game giving up only 2 earned runs. We ate and drank and yelled and laughed. It was a great afternoon with a great ending...9-5 victory. One game down, like 179ish to go.
It looks like V is wearing transition lenses. He's not. I forgot to change my camera settings before asking to have our picture taken.
Having a sweet little, old lady take our picture reminded me of part of comedian Dane Cook's show where he's talking about how when you ask someone to take a picture with your camera, they act like it's really complicated and aren't sure how to do it and he says..."it is the button on the top right where it has always been ... since the beginning of photography ..."

Raising the American League Champion flag during the opening ceremonies
(not as fun as raising the flag at Panchos, but probably more important)

I'm not going to make any bold statements (yet) for the season. As a Ranger fan it's important to take one game at a time. I can say though, that today was everything I could have hoped for a great start to a fun season!
