Baseball! And...SNOW?!

At long last, Baseball Season is here. Chicago winter refuses to let go, however, as we got about an inch point five of slush. Par for the Chicago course, of course. Yes, I've moped several times about our weather. Guilty. Yes, the people in California and other constant climates are laughing, enjoying their warmth. That's fine. Those having a one-dimensional existence in California beg for days like today so they can justify the silly, overpriced place they live. Okay, you got yer day. I'll be laughing for months when the Chicago Spring feels so good and California is still smoggy, superficial, and fake.

So yeah, slush on Opening Day sucks, but it's part of living in Chicago. We got three inches last Saturday and it was gone by Monday. Same thing will happen this week. Good buddy Chas (a fellow Factory Blogger) reminded a lot of folks that we have gotten snow in Chicago much later than this. We deal with it. Hell, it was snowing on April 17, 2005 when I had my best ever seats at Wrigley seven rows up on the first base line. But now that Baseball is here, Spring will inevitably be here too. Meanwhile, there's ways to keep warm. It's all in the layering. Life in Chicago, unlike other places, has layers. Variety is tough, but worth it. Go Baseball and warm weather. Any minute now...
