Such a lovely day
It was the perfect day for baseball. Maybe a bit too windy, but that's okay. A tv crew filmed me entering the park, I got to watch batting practice, and sat near a fun group of people with a great sense of humor. I'd never been to an Opening Day before, and it was awesome. Such a great atmosphere. And the result was the right one, too. My boy Brian didn't do too well until he was batting lefty, but that's all right. I did wind up a bit sunburnt; sunscreen just never occured to me. Ah well. It's the price I have to pay.
And if anyone was watching SportsNite on Comcast SportsNet last night, you caught a glimpse of my back. They did a segment on fan reaction to Sammy Sosa and filmed it right where I was watching batting practice. The camera scans by a couple kids wearing Sosa shirts, then you see a taller person in a Roberts shirt. Yep, that's me. Yay! I was on tv!
Other than getting somewhat lost in Baltimore, it was a lovely day. Mmm, baseball season. How I missed thee.
And thanks to everyone who sent wishes about my aunt. The surgery went well. She should be back home next week, at which point she'll have a few weeks off before having to get radiation. So things look pretty good for her, but continued thoughts and prayers couldn't hurt.
Current song in my head:
"Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid
