I'm just getting my tubed meats par-boiled and Bloody Mary fixings together. Gotta get the grill in the truck (charcoal this year, and I will remember all the parts). Three layers of Brewer shirts laundered and ready to accept whatever I can dish out.. All portable tables and chairs were dusted off yesterday as I cracked a bottle of Lite in anticipation of this great day. Plates, forks, knives, napkins, beer, onions, mustard, ketchup, beer, utensils, scooter, beer, helmet, garbage bags, and band-aids. All check. Oh yeah and Kraut, can't forget the Kraut. It's going to be a bit chilly, but a few years back I went to an opening day when it was snowing sideways, so this should feel like Miami. Sunglasses, check. Tunes, check. Bad Truck stereo, check. Oh, and we get to see a baseball game too.........cool.

No Cubs fans were harmed in the making of this entry.
