The future will be no brighter than today

It is opening day for baseball. That means the Cubs are in first place. That makes me happy. Of course they have yet to play a game, but I look for the bright spots where I can find them. I suspect this will be another long season for my beloved Cubbies, but at this stage of the multi-year/decade/century rebuilding project, a winning record would be welcome.

I have sworn for years that when the Cubs win the World Series I am getting the image over there on the left tattooed on my upper arm. The wife even agreed, knowing the odds were slim.

 I never really wanted a tattoo anyway...
