Living is Wisconsin, winters and early springs are dreary and drab.  You might find a nice day during the weekend, but it’s like finding the HBO channel unscrambled late at night when you were younger.  You obviously got lucky, but the chances it happening again will be slim.  Anyway, this past weekend the temps hit around 60 and it was sunny (good thing, because we had to move into our new house) and the next day it was rainy, windy, and cold.  Talk about a tease, but that’s Wisconsin weather for you.  Which brings me to the importance of Opening Day.  Even if life is less than stellar, the start of baseball season is a sign of a great couple months ahead.  Opening day and the whole baseball season is like a birthday.  It’s the best and most consistent present every April and keeps on giving for the next six or even seven months.  So if the next two weeks reek of complaints and dismal weather, remember that baseball will lift whatever state of mind we are in.
