Opening Day Is Here
 
Welcome to one of my favorite days of the year: Opening Day. I admit that I love the pageantry of the entire day. The sights, sounds, and smells of an early Spring baseball game can hardly be beat for an unabashed sports fan. It is a time where baseball enthusiasm and optimism run as wild as the Texas wildflowers. Our local team fell among hard times last year and is hoping to have a bounce back year. Their immediate future has some doubts surrounding it as their ace pitcher, Yu Darvish, underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this spring and one of their other young star pitchers, Martin Perez, is still recovering from the same surgery almost a year after it was performed. The Ranger offense is hoping to have a resurgent year after an injury plagued season that saw the losses of key new additions Prince Fielder and Shin-Soo Choo. At the end of the day, they will be relying on plenty of up and coming youngsters like Ryan Rhua and Nick Martinez and might even see a mid season call up from the likes of Joey Gallo. I will be attending my 11th consecutive Opening Day on Friday. Who will be there with me?

Scotch with water
 

A lady goes to the bar on a cruise ship and orders a Scotch with two drops of water.

As the bartender gives her the drink she says, 'I'm on this cruise to celebrate my 80th birthday and it's today..'

The bartender says, 'Well, since it's your birthday, I'll buy you a drink. In fact, this one is on me.'

As the woman finishes her drink, the woman to her right says, 'I would like to buy you a drink, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you Bartender, I want a Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming up,' says the bartender.

As she finishes that drink, the man to her left says, 'I would like to buy you one, too.'

The old woman says, 'Thank you. Bartender, I want another Scotch with two drops of water.'

'Coming right up,' the bartender says.

As he gives her the drink, he says, 'Ma'am, I'm dying of curiosity. Why the Scotch with only two drops of water?'

The old woman replies, 'Sonny, when you're my age, you've learned how to hold your liquor. Holding your water, however, is a whole other issue.'
