Outside my window...a pair of Cardinals are singing happily...hopefully as a good omen for Opening Day today.
From the kitchen...I managed to ruin a whole batch of berries by smothering them in heavy cream which, upon first bite, I discovered to be soured! I happened not to notice the March 30th expiration date before dousing the berries. :-( Live and learn. Or not...
A favorite thing...My Cardinal hat with "bling"
I am thinking...That Albertus Magnus (aka: Albert Pujols) just might be worthy of the appelation "El Hombre" which I previously thought should be reserved for Stan The Man Musial. 7 games, 5 homeruns, 14 RBI's. Not a shabby start.
I am wearing...Cardinal red, of course.
I am hearing...An interview with legendary Cardinal broadcaster, Mike Shannon, who sounds surprisingly sober.
I am reading...The Trivium - a rather heady, philosophical book about the nature and form of language. The parts I understand, are quite good! An educational, but somewhat laborious read.
I am creating...a baby blanket. For...a baby.
I am thankful...for the luxury of attending Opening Day. Seriously. It's an inconsequential event, but one that inevitably puts a smile on my face.
Plans for my week...Monday: Cardinal baseball (duh...)...Tuesday: read, household chores... Wednesday: Dr. appointment for Riesa Kay (need wisdom and guidance to make decisions about her health and care!)...Thursday: Bible study, birthday lunch (not mine)...Friday: night on the town with 12 friends for good food, great music (John Pizzarelli at Jazz at the Bistro!!), and bowling (bring it, Jimmy!)
A photo/video I am sharing: 5 of the 7 Hall of Famers who showed up for today's pre-game ceremonies: (front to back) Bob Gibson, Bruce Sutter, Ozzie Smith, Red Schoendiest, Lou Brock. Not pictured: Stan The Man Musial (who looked quite frail, but was there, as always!), and newly-inducted Whitey Herzog.
It's definitely a baseball town.

Projection for the 2nd Man Albert: 115 HR & 322 RBI
It may or may not be supernatural, but what we are witnessing IS super.
