Wendy, you've hit it out of the park with the bases loaded with this post. I've tried many times to explain just why I love baseball and the effect it has on me. Everything you have said rings true for me. There wasn't much brightness happening in my life lately, but then OPENING DAY!!!
I must point out that you now live almost as close to Toronto than Cleveland, and definitely closer as the baseball flies. Having grown up as a Yankees fan, I can attest that it is possible to switch allegiances. This just might be the season for you to consider the Blue Jays (and we didn't have to change our name, either).
Whatever...here's to another season and all it brings.
Thank you, Lynn! Exactly what you said about "not much brightness" until opening day. Yes, I know I am closer to Toronto than Cleveland. And I have deep feelings for Canada. You will be happy to know that I watch the Blue Jays a lot. And I think this year maybe even more. They're a great team.
I'm pretty sure I won't "switch" allegiances. That's a tough thing to do. Although I can certainly understand switching from the Yankees! Couldn't resist a Yankees dig. ;)
Thanks again for your kind words. A grand slam on the first post feels good. _/|\_
