They're Playing Baseball Today!


They're playing baseball today!  I know I missed opening day but today is the Cubs home opener, the weather in Chicago is going to be close to 70 and you can finally see the faint stirrings of spring around here.  No matter that we return to the 40s and 50s over the next few days and could even see a spit of snow later in the week.  Today we see the bright promise of better weather in the coming weeks.   Life is good!

"The one constant through all the years Ray has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again, but baseball has marked the time. This field, this game is a part of our past Ray. It reminds us of all once was good and could be again."-James Earl Jones as Terence Mann in "Field of Dreams."

 Happy Birthday RJE as you practice before the Supreme Bar.  Down here you would have been 87.  God bless and miss you.
