Opening Day x 3!!

This weekend marks what could be considered 3 "opening days", as the Yankees open the new Stadium today, we start outdoor Bingo season Friday night, and CT fishing season starts Saturday morning. The good news is that we are experiencing a great stretch of weather for these events, with temps expected to hit 70 on Fri & Sat, although Sunday will be cooler with some showers possible. Although I am a Yankee fan, I must admit that I was actually hoping Wake would throw a no-hitter yesterday (only after the Sox extended the lead beyond 2-0 and an Oakland win was out of the question). He is the only Red Sox player that I like, and he has always been a quality guy...too bad he plays for Boston. Conversely, getting Jen to admit she likes any Yankee is a stretch. While I can understand her dislike of someone like former Yankee Giambi, or even A-Rod, you can't dislike Jorge just because he has Dumbo's ears, or Jeter for his leaning away on inside pitches. Or how about Matsui or Rivera? I can understand Damon (would love to give him back), or even CC, but they aren't all evil. Quite a few kids out and about today, as with many schools off this week, some folks have chosen to make it a long weekend. With over a hundred reservations checking in, I am anticipating a good Bingo crowd. This will also be the first weekend that we have the raffle tickets for the big Mother's Day raffle available for purchase...a grand prize of $2500 awaits a lucky camper. I think now would be a good time for lunch, with a chance to see an inning of the Yankee game in the new stadium.
