Countdown

Spring Break: 4 days

Opening Day: 14 days *

Hawaii: 60 days

IJatKOTCS: 72 days **

Summer Vacation: Not nearly soon enough.




* Offically, Opening Day is March 25. But since this is for the ridiculous two-game series between the Red Sox (whom I hate) and the A's (whom I despise)...and since said series is in Japan (???)...and since game time for me will be 3:05 AM (!!!), Opening Day for Steve will herewith be considered to be March 31 when the Angels take on the Twinkies at 4:05 PM. So 20 days is more like it.

** While it opens May 22, I'm sure I will be getting in line for the midnight showing sometime on the 21st, so the countdown may be adjusted accordingly. I read an interview yesterday with the two screenwriters for Star Trek who are also (of course) huge Indiana Jones fans. They are currently working on a movie with Shia LaBeouf (they also wrote the Transformers screenplay if that can, in fact, be called "writing") and they are spending every day with their hands over their ears, yelling at Shia not to give anything away. A fan's a fan and we all want to see the movie for the first time together. Still, interesting problem to have, eh?

Glad to see you back in blogland, Steve. For us non-rabid fan types, however, all I could decipher of the last one (after a few minutes of puzzling it out) was Indiana Jones and the.... and then have no idea what the rest might be.

But good for you for being excited.

We're almost halfway through the high school baseball season and long past our "Opening Day." Still, there is nothing like the freshness and the promise of Opening Day. Enjoy.

Si-a-nara

I'm sure we could go back to Steve's post featuring the IJ trailer to decipher the mnemonic...but the ones featured in these comments were hilarious.

SO nice to read you have goals, Steve. Mine is the opening night of the first Stanley Cup game!
