I am a baseball fan, so obviously I love Opening Day.
Corny as it is, the promise of a 0-0 record, the opportunity for fans of even the worst teams to let themselves believe for a little while . . . all this happening as spring starts to slowly pry winter's grip from the landscape. It is inspiring.
Over on the baseball blog I'll have some Opening Day observations posted at some point tonight or tomorrow, for those who might care about the actual baseball stuff.
But it's Opening Day for us all.
Happy Opening Day to you. The most American non-holiday holiday there is.

Wishing you a happy baseball season. For some of us, spring does not begin until baseball's opening day has come and gone. For those of us who follow the "hapless" teams around the leagues, opening day is a bittersweet moment in time each year... I suspect that if one is a Cubs fan, that is the way of it. I know that for those of us who are, in spite of our better instincts, addicted to the Cincinnati Reds, that is surely the case -- we know they WILL almost certainly break our hearts, but it is spring and we can't help but let the hope burn for just a bit here in the early days of April...
