Today was the opening day of MLB spring training. Do you know what that means? It means that the warmth of spring is near. For the players most are soaking up the seasonally warm weather of Florida and Arizona. Ah, to be in weather warmer than 40 degrees... Aside from the warm weather, the colorful array of flowers and the chance to finally take a bike ride without my insides freezing, spring is the beginning of Baseball season. Oh, the peanuts and sunflower seeds, the hot dogs with ketchup (of course), and cotton candy. Yes, I love that flavored candy floss.

I dug out my Cubbies hat and sported in honor of their opening match against the SF Giants. Thankfully, the Cubs had a great opener and I was happy to call my friend who's a big Giants fan and gloat, just a little.
