Very excited, nice time of year. People are happy and the weather has been pretty great. Going to be an outstanding next 6 weeks.

If you go make sure to leave a little beer in your can so the guy that goes around and collects the can has something to polish off. He was plowed last year, but still doing his job. And even giving it that little extra. Checking the beer cans and making sure they were empty by slugging down the remains.

The card is up and it looks pretty terrific at a glance.

Great card. Lots of big fields, lots of turf. Lots of fun. Spooky Mulder running on opening day. No better than that.
