Happy Opening Day!

Well, technically, baseball's Opening Day was yesterday.  But it doesn't really mean much around here until the Phillies open.  And that's today at 1:05 (weather permitting--at least it's stopped snowing here). 

Jake is home and we're going to hang together and watch the game.  He's decided that since "Phillies" starts with a "P", we have snacks that start with "P".  So we're having popcorn, pickles, pretzels, potato chips.  He wanted pea, pork and pears, but we don't have any right now (today is shopping day). 

Here's a good Opening Day joke sent by my sister:

A Phillies fan, Mets fan and Yankees fan were at the top of a mountain together.  They were arguing about who was the best fan.  The Yankees fan insisted he was the most loyal and to prove it, he yelled, "This is for the Yankees!" and jumped off the mountain.  Not to be outdone, the Phillies fan yelled, "This is for the Phillies!" and he pushed the Mets fan off the mountain.

And here's Jake's annual Opening Day message:

GO PHILLIES!
