Still Counting Down

Rain delays are a big bummer. The family was all settled down from batting practice and field maintenance ready to enjoy "Opening Night" of MLB on ESPN2. The Middle-Schooler could not believe the game was on The Deuce, with "girls" basketball on the mother channel.

Yes, I got tears in my eyes as the season kicked off with the montage of Opening Days Past and realizing that my son is in heaven. All is right with the world -- he was muddy from raking and weeding his precious Major Baseball Field at a local school and had spent 30 minutes batting in a cage with an ex-Major Leaguer. What more could you ask for?
