The tarp has been pulled.

Ernie  Banks threw out the first pitch.

First pitch was at 2:01 p.m.

Well worth the wait if we can get this one in.

It can't rain all day and on Mr. Cub's parade can it?

Well, you know what I mean.

Two of the idols of my youth together again, Ernie Banks and Hank Aaron.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Unless the Cubs and Brewers meet in the playoffs with a trip to the World Series on the line.

We can dream, can't we? After all, that's what Opening Day is for.
