April 1, 2002 couldn't have been better.

Terps take the NCAA championship for the first time in 79 years.

Orioles beat the Yankees 10-3 on opening day and Clemens gets dinged for a grand slam.

Ahh, Spring. :)

Anyone beating the Yankees...now thats a perfect day! :D

Yes, but knowing my beloved O's, that'll be their only victory of the season :D.

I dunno, I have a good feeling about this post-Cal season. There are some hungry kids on the roster who can now step out of the shadows. This year, they are the ones getting the attention.

Bill gates giving all his money to me..... That would be a perfect day.

I was going to add a third item to my "perfect" list, but couldn't quite work it in. It went something like this:

Walking back to our car from the Orioles game with my wife (She Who Must Be Obeyed), who do I see getting out of a cab but none other than Marvin Hamlisch.

Me: Look, it's Marvin Hamlisch!
SWMBO: Who's that? Some nerd friend of yours from high school?
Me: No. You know, the composer.
SWMBO (not even looking): Never heard of him.
Me: What? "The Way We Were", "The Sting". . .
SWMBO: That's isn't him.
Me: How do you know it isn't him? You said you never even heard of him.
SWMBO: Because you're full of crap most of the time.
Me: Hey, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. I say it's Marvin Hamlisch. I'm going to go up to him and say hello.
SWMBO: You'll just make a fool of yourself. How do you know he's just not some guy who looks like him?

Meanwhile Marvin Hamlisch passes right by us, practically bumping into me.

Me: No question. That's him. Those clothes are from Burberry's or I'm Dan Quayle.
SWMBO: If he's a composer than why's he carrying a briefcase? I've never seen a composer carry a briefcase.
Me: Maybe he's got sheet music in there. I dunno.
SWMBO: If he's so famous what's he doing walking the streets of Baltimore? I say he's an accountant and you've had one too many six dollar beers.

During this tender exchange Marvin Hamlisch ducks into the Renaissance Hotel. When I get home a Google search reveals that Marvin Hamlisch is the conductor of the Baltimore Pops Symphony Orchestra.

I love my life.

:D

Go Padres! We got Nevin and Klesko this year so SD is gonna clean shop this year!
