Opening Day

Well, I had the boys all geared up for Opening Day. The gametime was such that they could get off the bus and catch the first pitch. They wore their Red Sox shirts to school. I called them during breakfast for a last minute speech. It was almost like Christmas morning, thick with anticipation.

And then.................

I am sure the talk shows and folks discussed the game to death, all day long. Especially, without another game today. Too much time to linger over it. Talk about beating a dead horse.

The toughest thing about talking to the boys last night was explaining that there were still 161 games left, and that baseball was a long season. The division is not won or lost in April. But try telling an 8 and a 6 year old that. An 8 year old wearing a Curt Schilling jersey.

Waiting anxiously on JB's start tomorrow.

And thus starts the spring/summer bed time ritual: Dress into PJ's during the Top of the first - brush your teeth after out #3 - watch the Bottom of the first - then bed. The boys of summer....
