it was a tough day filled with all sorts of mini disasters - severed electric lines, a kooky neighbor, delayed gift, accident on the 101, the list goes on. i was constantly forced to remind myself that "it could be worse" or as my dad says, "this is all just a pimple on the ass of life."
the day took a turn the minute we walked into dodger stadium. sure the team was shut out for like the second time all season but still...just being in that space allows for instant mood enhancement. usually, it's a combination of dodger dogs, plastic cups filled with miller light, 50,000 people singing "take me out to the ballgame" and "don't stop believin'," the boos, the cheers and the manny chants that brighten my day.
tonight, it was watching cooper "play" baseball and yell "hey, batter, batter, batter" at the top of his lungs that brought a smile to my face. he reminds me of me at that age, in that ballpark, embracing america's pastime with enthusiasm.
oh, and gossiping with his mom helped too.
