Opening Day!

It's baseball's opening day, and that only means one thing..

In six months, the Cubbies are going to break my heart.

Yet, as a loyal fan, they continue to bring me back; year after year. I have to admit, in recent years, I've saved the paper bags to put over my head until October. It's nice for a change. I remember they used to give up in mid-July. Sure, I could be a Yankees fan, and there's nothing wrong with that at all. However, if I were a Yankees fan, where would my life lessons on patience come from? Where would I have learned how to be so excited about something, only to see it snatched from beneath my feet? No, not as a Yankees fan. That can only come with the Spring anticipation of a great Cubbies year, only to watch it crumble in the last few weeks. You can keep your Yankees. I'll stick with the dream dashers; I mean the Cubs. Play ball!
