Baseball Means Springtime and Springtime Means We Are Less Likely To Punch Strangers In The FaceIt is just about that time...on the cusp of another new season, that we start wishing time away to get to the warm Spring weather...We are ready to discard a winter season that has already given us everything it had to offer. Christmas and snow and whiskey drinkin indoors with friends and family and all the rest. We have used it up and all we are left with is soggy ground from melted snow and an overall depression brought on by constantly freezing temperatures and overcast skies that make you wonder if something terrible has happened to the sun.
I realize that Spring is still weeks away, but March is so close and March means good things...baseball...March Madness...and Spring. Here in the Midwest we could all use a string of 65 degree days that will allow the flowers and greenery to feel welcome...to encourage their arrival...and to get the idea of bathing with toasters out of our heads. You know what they say. The sweet just isn't as sweet without the sour. And we are smack dab in the middle...or end hopefully, of the fucking sour. So that means we will truly enjoy the sweet as it creeps up around the corner.
Here is what I am looking forward to- (in a random as I think of it order)
1. Grilling out and drinking beer on the porch at 7pm while it is still light
2. Baseball being everywhere.
3. Opening round games of the tournament. The opening rounds are the best. Everyone is hopeful...everyone believes they will be the cinderella or the final ones holding the trophy.
4. Green trees and grass and all that.
5. 65 degrees
6. Spring Break
With all this being said, at the end of February, wishing for Spring. Here is a song from Beach House because I would love to be in one today...
