Never an Opening Day

So while all of the city is heading to Camden Yards today for the excitement of opening day, I am baking chicken pot pies and cupcakes, forgetting that Opening Day is a treat itself since my husband is an accountant and currently in tax season, and my son and dog consume the other half of my no brainer day!
We take little walks over here in The Hill, and while we are close to the stadiums, I think it's the fact that the day is sort of gloomy that makes me realize that it's not as crazy around here as it could be given the fact of the O's playing at home for the first time this season.

I realize that I have never been to an opening day game and if I want to ever go with my husband accompanying me I never will. He will never have a "free" day to go to the stadium tho his other co-workers do. I will never understand the phenomenon that my husband can't go and so many others there can. Oh well. It's the life of the accountant's wife. Is it prestigious?...

But that's OK, I bask in the glory of other sports things- our Sunday walks thru the tail-gaters of football season and the occasional treat when we get to attend a game as well! I enjoy the few intense weeks of March Madness year after year. And I actually get a kick out of seeing people flocking to Camden yards when I'm heading home at the end of my work day somedays.

So I might not get to an opening day unless it's cleared of the month of April, but that's ok.
