You look forward to it like a birthday
party when you're a kid. You think something wonderful is going to
happen. - Joe DiMaggio,
referring to Baseball Opening Day
Here's
hoping the excitement of opening day lasts all season for our kids -
and that every kids feels like a winner regardless of the
score.
Cheers, Dr.
