My pair of 6 tickets for the 2012 season are neatly tucked in an envelope, and waiting waiting waiting to be slipped into my purse each month from April to September on their way to the ball park. I remember that giddy evening in the heart of a cold winter in December 2010 when Peter and I hunkered down to negotiate the selection of our first year's set of seats. This year winter never came. But December being months from spring, in the heart of basketball and hockey seasons, Chanukah and winter breaks, we enjoy stretching our minds to imagine what we might be doing each month of spring and summer and early fall. We count up the days we will miss the pool to go to a game (very few as it turns out), or will be on vacation, or in the middle of another holiday. Only then can we choose dates, teams, seats.
One surprise-tickets available for opening night on April 11.
Whoa, so far the frozen air has not hit us. In March the potential for returning to cold is still with us, but right now, it's70 degree days, flowers are in bloom, and we have already switched the clocks to Daylight savings. Time to move my Phillies bookmark back near the top of the list again where I can peek at pre season game scores on the website. Yikes, it sure does feel like
SPRING
My goal after 3 months of back and hip pain-to walk from the subway to the ball park, up and up and up to my favorite places above home plate. We shall see.
