opening day

so much better than last year.

not because this year the first pitch of the season was flown in by helicopter,

or because it was thrown out by a major league player who grew up on our fields,

or because we saw all of our best friends,

or because we got to climb a rock wall,

or because we got unlimited use of all of the coolest bounce houses in town,

or because we got free keva juice.

no, it is because this year it was 75 degrees instead of 40

and our brothers got to come,

and we got to do all of the cool things mentioned above...

instead of hurrying home to thaw out.

play ball!
