It was a cool morning. Mid 70's and sunny right now.
A lot of us are watching the Yankees home opener in our offices. Was exciting for a while, Pineda had a no hitter into the 7th. I could hear people in other offices cheering with every pitch, middle aged men getting as excited as children. I envy them a little bit. After all the years of watching sports as a fan and also working in the industry I can't work up that level of excitement any more. The thing about sports is that in the end you wind up disappointed an overwhelming amount of the time. While that makes the few times you aren't all the more memorable to me that's like saying you should keep beating your head against the wall because it feels so good when you stop.
Seems to work for millions of people though,
